Abbotsford 2007 - Mennonite Church Canada Annual Assembly - July 3 - 6, 2007

Welcome to Abbotsford!

The Lower Mainland churches of Mennonite Church British Columbia welcome you to Abbotsford!

Located in the heart of BC’s Fraser Valley, Abbotsford is easily accessible. The Abbotsford International Airport (YXX) is Western Canada's fastest growing airport with connecting and non-stop flights to most major destinations across Canada. The city is one hour from Vancouver via the Trans Canada Highway.

Abbotsford offers a comfortable west coast climate. Framed by the Fraser Valley and massive land areas, the city provides visitors with a diverse array of outdoor adventures and city experiences. Attractions include white water rafting, sturgeon fishing, hot-springs, camping, mountain-top hiking, biking, golfing, theme parks, tours and samples of homegrown products at many local farms, and scenic gardens.

The Assembly meetings and activities for all ages will take place at the Mennonite Educational Institute (MEI), 4081 Clearbrook Road. Shuttle service is available between MEI and the Assembly hotels (see Lodging section). The MEI campus has over 200 parking spaces for those coming with their own vehicles.

All of the meeting rooms at MEI are air-conditioned. Please bring an umbrella as you will need to go outside to move between meeting spaces, and the weather in BC in July can be wet. On site shuttle service is available for those who have difficulty walking longer distances. Please also bring a reusable coffee mug and/or water bottle to reduce the number of disposable cups used at the Assembly.

Detailed information will be available in the delegate package you will receive upon arrival at the Assembly and at the Assembly information centre located in the main display area.
