Convention Center:

   We will pray on the butcher paper on the floor of Hall A. Attendees may bring their own prayer mats. Chairs will be available for those who require them.
2. Are there any facilities for Wudhu?
   There are washrooms within the hall.
3. What about Parking?
   Parking is $15.  To avoid parking delays, please pre-purchase a parking pass from your masjid.  This will speed the entry of vehicles into the parking lot.  If you do not pre-purchase, please have exact change ready when paying at the gate.  You will need to park in Car Park 4 on West Ave., which is a 5-10 minute walk to Hall A.  Car Park 1 on Katella Ave. is closed for renovation.  Please plan accordingly.

   Disabled parking is in Car Park 7 on West Ave., which is adjacent to Hall A.  When paying for parking, notify the parking attendant if you require disabled parking, and you will be directed to Car Park 7.
