Don't you need a ticket to get in though? I know that one of my teahers are handing them out. Since she has more than enough for her planning 10 classes, she's also letting us grade 11s go as well.

I went to one of those a long time ago... it was pretty packed inside.
I don't know if it's the same thing but when I went there were just tables with people who hand out application forms and answer q's... you have to like fill it out and hand it in with your resume. There wasn't much room so i had to go in a corner and kneel while writing. I got so hot that i jsut took all the forms home and never filled them out..

is it just for the vancouver area or does it apply to places like surrey as well?

i believe it's just held there, but it applies all around town. like mentioned before you have to fill out an application form.. so usually there is a spot where you want to be located... or check which places are hiring

when i went (which was years ago) there were:
starbucks, subway, mcdonalds, winners, home sense, etc...

but there are probably different ones every year
