So while Casey’s on Campus is great here at UFV. It is still very difficult to find Casey’s on Campus if you have not been to the Abbotsford Campus before. So here is a map and some directions:

For those coming from Vancouver:

Get off at Exit 90 which is the McCallum Road Overpass. It is currently under heavy construction.

You will arrive at a King Road intersection shortly after driving on the offramp.

Turn left onto King Road and drive to the McKenzie Road intersection.

Then turn right onto McKenzie Road and turn left into the second parking lot towards the yellow gymnasium.

Find your way to the left of the yellow gymnasium and tucked away on the North-West corner of the yellow gymnasium is Casey’s on Campus.

For those coming from Chilliwack:

Get off at Exit 90 which is the McCallum Road Overpass. It is currently under heavy construction.

Turn left and drive to the King Road intersection.

At the intersection, turn left onto King Road and drive towards the McKenzie Road intersection.

Then turn right onto McKenzie Road and turn left into the second parking lot towards the yellow gymnasium.
