            • Do not use the 1h Parking spots as they are closely monitored.
            • City of Ottawa. There is a City parking lot at 687 Somerset St
            • There are many parking lots in the general area. Please take note of all signs and restrictions listed as most are privately owned.

              Coffees, waters, and snacks etc bought off-site and consumed in the gaming area will not be a problem as long as players are mindful of their garbage.

There are many beers on tap and beverages can be consumed in all gaming spaces.  All gaming convention attendees will be expected to show their identification if they choose to order alcoholic beverages and the legal drinking age is 19 years in Ontario.
