This is of interest to people who go for Didar in vancouver..
This information is General for those coming through Vancouver Airport and possiblly renting a car or Staying at Vancouver Airport Delta Hotel.
Forgot to add, Darkhana , 4010 Canada Way, Burnaby
Route 4
The airport and your hotel in (Richmond) is connected by several bridges/overpass, from the airport is the one you need to know it is called Arthur Lang bridge/overpass, there is two lanes both ways you stay in the right lane both times going and coming, on the bridge there is a clearly marked sign that says city center via the Granville st or continue on via Marine drive eastbound
Dont make a left on Cambie but continue on Marine Drive Eastbound until you reach Boundary Road, You Make a left on Boundary Road and Continue on till you get to Canada Way make a right at Hanna Medical Building 4 blocks from Boundary Road to the east on Canada way is Darkhana on your right, you turn right on Curle Avenue, you are there Bingo Curle ave and Canada way
I am very happy to hear from you and I will give you two routes to follow from your hotel to two location and than one from one location to other. Lets begin with point of reference N.E.W.S, Your hotel is in the south (Richmond) of both locations you need to attend is in (Vancouver) 30 to 45 minute drive north from your hotel.
Route 1 From the airport and your hotel is the same to reach the Deedar site Pan Pacific
The airport and your Delta hotel in (Richmond) is connected by several bridges/overpass, from the airport is the one you need to know it is called Arthur Lang bridge/overpass, there is two lanes both ways you stay in the right lane both times going and coming, on the bridge there is a clearly marked sign that says city center via the Granville st or the next one is via Marine drive and left on Cambie street.
Both Cambie street and Granville streets end in downtown, I recommend you take the Granville street exit, after 30 mins on Granville going north you cross over another bridge Called Granville bridge to enter downtown, once in downtown, make a left on Davie street from Granville, third street parallel to Granville is Burrard Street you make a right from Davie onto Burrard, at the end of Burrard, Where Burrard street ends is Pan Pacific, the Deedar location.
Route 2 from your hotel to PNE
The airport and your hotel in (Richmond) is connected by several bridges/overpass, from the airport is the one you need to know it is called Arthur Lang bridge/overpass, there is two lanes both ways you stay in the right lane both times going and coming, on the bridge there is a clearly marked sign that says city center via the Granville st or the next one is via Marine drive and left on Cambie street.
Dont make a left on Cambie but continue on Marine Drive Eastbound until you reach Boundary Road, You Make a left on Boundary Road and Continue on till you get to Hastings Street, from Boundary Road you make a Left on Hastings street this intersection is a 3500 block of Hastings street, the numbers should be decreasing as you Approach PNE (on your right side) 2901 Hastings street (dont look for 2901 number you wont see it) , couple blocks west of Boundary Road. You turn right on renfrew street from Hastings st and enter via gate # 2 or gate #6.
Route 3 between Pan Pacific and PNE
A
I------------------------HASTINGS STREET-----------------------------------I-------------------------------------------I
B C
A) Burrard st from PNE going to Pan Pacific stay on Hastings street turn right on Burrard st.
B) Renfrew st from Pan Pacific to PNE stay on Hastings street turn left on Renfrew st.
C) Is for Refrence only it is Boundary Road

YAM, <BR><BR>If somebody could list the street addresses of all the Jamatkhanas in Toronto and Vancouver , we could map directions from our hotels . Also the halls please.<BR><BR>Thank you
The National Visit 2005 Hotline for deedar in Toronto and Vancouver has been launched. The toll free number is 1-866-447-2005 and will be open from 7:00am to midnight.
Registration, Travel and Accommodation info is available at www.VISIT2005.ca
The website above is for registration for BOTH Canadians and Non-Canadians NOW. It lets you register for Deedar while specifying a Jamat Khana for pickup of the admission card. The website DOES NOT let you select if someone needs a "Chair". I called the hotline and the representative on the hotline recommended that those with "Special Needs" and their family should register at the Canadian JKs (through friends and family in Canada if Non-Canadian with Special Needs) as they have a special needs desk there.
