Calgary Talisman YRE renovations

The Talisman is undergoing renovations, while these are underway there will be a change in the YRE walk box location.
To get to the temporary service desk, park your car as close to the North end of the parking lot as possible, then take the pathway LEFT, and follow beside the river a short distance to the SECOND entrance (# 2010 above the door). Inside, the service desk will be right in front of you. Please ask for the walk box there.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
