Hope house is open weekdays from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, but it's a good idea to call ahead, especially if you're unfamiliar with how to use the Centre. If you bring a car, ask us at the front desk for a parking pass. Hope House is a short walk from the U of A transit (bus and LRT) station, and is accessible for people with mobility challenges.
