Travel
To attend PEEC 2024 all participants will meet in Port Alberni BC on the afternoon of March 21st by 5:30pm, and will travel together by boat aboard the wonderful Francis Barkley for the ~3 hour boat trip out to Bamfield. This will be followed by a return trip on the afternoon of March 23rd, with a goal to arrive early afternoon to allow those heading back to the Lower Mainland to catch ferries. We will be meeting at the Lady Rose Marine Services dock at the Alberni Harbour quay, which is about a 1 hour drive from Departure Bay terminal in Nanaimo.
