Los Angeles Area Information for GC Delegates

We have a Los Angeles Area Information page up for people attending General Council (GC) this weekend. The page includes weather, transportation information, a custom map for GC delegates, and local attractions for those bringing their families. GC delegates can't expect to have time for exploring, but there's plenty for your family to do.

Smoke from Wildfires

Smoke from the Station fire north of Los Angeles has been affecting air quality in the region, though changing weather may improve the situation for downtown Los Angeles (where the GC hotel is). The fire is large (127,513 acres at last report), about 15 miles from our hotel, and will continue burning through GC.

If you're a GC delegate who would be seriously affected by the smoke, monitor the situation and be sure to bring any medications which may help.
