Transfers:
The AGM Organizing Committee will have access to vans provided compliments of AVIS pre and post the cruise and can assist in transporting attendees to and from the airport and cruise terminal. As we are dependant on volunteers for this task it is critical you contact rcmpvets2012@cruiseshipcenters.com prior to April 1, 2012 to ensure we can accommodate your requirements. Ron Budd on the Organizing Committee will be in charge of coordinating transfer requests and will confirm your information once it has been received. Please ensure you have a confirmation for your transfer requests.

The AGM Organizing Committee has secured some parking at HQ in Vancouver at 33rd and Heather. We have a limited number of spaces available for the week of May 27th – June 3rd, 2012 (sorry, no large RV’s can be accommodated). We are hoping to reserve these spots for our out of town guests that will be arriving by car. Please request your spot by emailing rcmpvets2012_[AT]_cruiseshipcenters.com prior to April 1, 2012. Ron Budd on the Organizing Committee will confirm your information once it has been received and processed. Spaces are on a first come first serve basis.
