Directions to Grantham Hall

Grantham 'Odd Fellows' Hall
Hwy 19A and Smith Rd., Courtenay, BC

Grantham Hall is on the "old Island Highway", now the scenic coast  
drive 19A, across from Tsolum School (near the Smith Rd intersection),  
north of Courtenay (10 mins from the bottom of Mission Hill), and  
south of Campbell River (30 mins from downtown). For photos, check out  
the Grantham Hall page.

 From the south
Make your best way into and through Courtenay, and either of the  
bridges (17th St. or 5th St.) coming off Cliffe Avenue to get you  
going north. Follow signs through town towards Campbell River. (If you  
pass Art Knapp's Nursery at the top of a hill, keep going; you're  
doing fine.) You'll be driving about 10-ish minutes from there, so  
look for signs before then. Don't pass the Gunter Bros. sign on the  
left (Smith Road), or you'll have to back up. The hall is on your  
right (Grantham 'Odd Fellows' Hall).

 From the north
Either take the old "Coastal" highway, or the Hamm Road link from the  
new highway to the old. Go past Merville Store (good gas prices  
there!), and when you see the Gunter Bros sign or Tsolum School or  
Smith Road on the right, you'll be turning left into the driveway for  
Grantham Hall. The hall sign is not so visible from that end.
