Situated in the heart of the city, on the south shore of False Creek, and accessible by boat, car, bus, bicycle or on foot – this reclaimed industrial area is now home to over 300 businesses with cultural, shopping and heritage attractions galore. Visit the fabulous Public Market featuring all things fresh from food to flowers; explore galleries, studios and shops that showcase the talents of BC and Canadian artists; stroll the seawall and take in the fabulous views of the working and recreational waterfront, cityscape and mountains. After exploring the island on your own, relax with new and old friends over a delicious three-course dinner hosted at the Granville Island hotel’s Dockside restaurant. In addition to offering a menu highlighting local favourites, the setting provides floor to ceiling views of the waterfront, a 50 foot aquarium, plus tasty brews on tap from the in-house brewery. A pre-arranged bus will be in front of the IKBLC Learning Centre to pick up guests at 4:45pm, leaving for Granville Island at 5:00pm and arriving onsite at 5:30pm.
