  • Parking -  We have limited on-site parking.  Due to the nature of many of the workshops, the AST conference must be held at a large high school with a variety of science and computer labs.  We often have 800+ participants, plus presenters and exhibitors.  No school in Nova Scotia has enough parking for 1000 people.  However, you may park along Parkland or Thomas Raddall Drive. We will have student volunteers outside helping with parking on the day of the conference.  If you are staying at the Future Inn you may want to walk - it is a short distance and this will allow you to avoid the congested parking area.  Please carpool if possible.  Please note that parking is NOT available at Soccer Nova Scotia.
