Reception at ‘the POLYGON’ June 5th

The Polygon is located just a short 15 min. boat ride across the bay via Vancouver’s commuter SeaBus, located in a waterfront area known as The Shipyards. We’ll meet at The Polygon for a fun meetup, social and lots of good food.

Full gallery access including current main exhibit and with spectacular city views.

Directions from Harbour Centre: short walk to Waterfront Station, then take SeaBus towards Lonsdale Quay SeaBus Terminal (payments via credit or debit card OR use your Compass card — SeaBus requires a 1 or 2-Zone fare card).
