Going Googly with Google Maps

May 7, 2012

Ok, I admit, I'm going a little Google Map crazy.  But until last month I had no idea that you could create & save customized maps in Google (button is called "My Places"), and I keep finding new Westfest reasons to do so.  So for your edification, here are all my maps, which will continue to be updated as new requests or additional info is provided.

Westfest Storefront Postering

In addition to Daryl's team, my personal thanks goes to volunteers who stepped up and have done storefront postering, in particular:

• Susan along Bank & Queen
• Keri along Bank & Somerset
• Katie along Carlingwood

There are a few areas left in yellow to be completed, and in red still to be assigned, so contact me if you want to take some posters off my hands.  We will be starting pole and billboard postering soon, likely on several Thursdays before the festival so that they are visible over the weekends.  So let me know if you are interested there too.

Westfest Office Directions

Claudia will be contacting volunteers shortly who offered to assist with light office work, such as laminating VIP, Staff, Volunteer & other tags so they can be distributed before the event.  If you are free during the weekdays and want to help out, please call Claudia at 613-729-3565 to find out weekdays & times.  For those driving or taking the bus to the office in Vanier, this map should give you the directions that you need.

Westfest Volunteer Locations

I wanted a simple map that I could share with the volunteers, to let everyone know where the Volunteer Tents, the bicycle parking, the various entrances & gates, and the barricades, are.  Here's what I've come up with, and the 2 key locations are:

• Blue "i": Volunteer Tent in the Main Stage audience area, where (starting on Friday at 3 pm) Main Stage Volunteers are to pick up their t-shirts and Sign-In & Out; and
• Blue "question mark": Street Merch Tent on Richmond Rd at McRae, where (starting on Saturday at 9 am) Street Volunteers are to pick up their t-shirts and Sign-In & Out.

Please let me know if I'm missing any other locations that are important during the festival and should be added.
