DIRECTIONS (Please read carefully):
To ensure ease of access through security, please RSVP to [email protected] and bring your media credentials with you.
Please meet for media registration in the Central Administration Building (CAB). You will be greeted at the security desk once you have parked, per the directions below, and entered the building.
Identification is required for orientation (Driver's License or similar), otherwise no special instructions, dress or safety equipment/training will be required. We do recommend some form of sturdy footwear as the site does not have paved roads, and depending on weather conditions, may be a bit muddy.
Directions to the site can be found either with Google maps (NWR Sturgeon Refinery (56216 RR20, AB-643, Sturgeon County, AB T0A 1N0)) or Directions to Sturgeon Refinery.
**NOTE OF CAUTION: Both the link and Google maps will take you to the GATE 2 entrance of the site across from Agrium, which is NOT the correct Gate for this event. Instead, you will be entering GATE 4. If you follow the above directions, once on Highway 643, watch for signs that read NWR Media Event Gate 4 Entrance. These signs will lead you to the proper gate entrance.
As you are driving East on Highway 643, watch for and follow marked signs that read NWR Media Event Gate 4 Entrance. You will approach a set of train tracks. Slow down as you approach the tracks and prepare to turn left immediately after you cross the tracks. The GATE 4 entrance will be directly ahead on Range Road 220 (it is after Evonik but before the Access Pipeline Terminal).
You will come to a security box at the gate entrance where you will need to state that you are a member of the media there to attend the press conference at the Central Administration Building (CAB). It is important that you RSVP to [email protected] so that your name can be added to the security list.
Security will let you through and direct you to visitor/event parking at the CAB Building, which will be on your left once you go through Gate 4.
