FROM THE CALGARY AREA?
Don’t stress about driving or booking your own transportation! We have a private coach that will be shuttling members into Lethbridge departing at 9:00AM from the Ramada Plaza downtown in Calgary, and returning at 10:00PM. You’ll also get an extra bit of media arts programming during your tour, as a curated screening program by the Lethbridge International Film Festival (LIFF) will be playing during your trip!
FROM THE EDMONTON AREA?
It’s a long ride to Lethbridge so catch the private coach bus in Calgary instead, and stay overnight with our discount room rates at the Ramada Plaza downtown! Email admin@amaas.ca for more details.
OUTSIDE OF CALGARY/EDMONTON BUT STILL WANT TO ATTEND?
We want to make sure that all of our Alberta-based members have a chance to attend! If you live outside of Edmonton or Calgary, we offer travel bursaries to help you cover the cost of getting to Lethbridge to take part in the tour! Please email us at admin@amaas.ca for more details.
