-Public Transportation: It is easy to get there. Go to Angrignon Metro, then get on
the #98 EXO/CITSO bus which lets you off at Kateri Hospital. This bus runs
in the mornings until 1:00PM and will return from Kateri Hospital at 7:00PM.
There is a short walk to the site once exiting from the bus. Have the exact
change for the bus (one way): $4.75. The link shows last year’s schedule
– it is the same for this year except for the fare increase.
-Advice: Think of the PowWow as a day trip. This
is an outdoor event so dress accordingly for the summer. Sunscreen, sunglasses,
hat or parasol a must. Of course, comfortable shoes, and a portable chair. A
water bottle is important also. Bring your camera or sketchbook to record the
events.
