THE SAFEWAY IS NOT A DRIVE THRU!

VTT has ONLY ONE drive thru and that's in the joint VTT-BI parkade. This is the SAFEST, EASIEST AND MOST CONVENIENT way to drop off your children.

We do not have jurisdiction over the King Edward Mall/ Safeway parking lot and thus cannot patrol nor control the flow of cars and pedestrians using this area. Please exercise extreme caution should you choose to park there.
