There are parking lots near the University of Winnipeg, as well as street parking.

To get to Convocation Hall: Go to the second floor of Wesley Hall [looks like a castle]. They’re doing construction on Wesley, so if the front doors and side door of Wesley happen to be locked, enter Bryce Hall [building immediately east of Wesley] and go up to second floor where a skywalk will give you access to Wesley]. There will be signs and volunteers available to help.

To get to Manitoba Hall Theatres [4M31 and 4M47]. There are a number of ways to get to Manitoba Hall. The easiest is to enter the main building [Centennial] and take the escalators to the 4th floor, then look for signs for Manitoba Hall].
