The conference dinner will take place in downtown Guelph. A bus service
will be arranged to pick us up outside Rozanski Hall after the end
of Poster Session II and bring us to the conference dinner. There
will also be a bus service back after dinner. However, we anticipate
that many of you may want to stay downtown later, in which case you
will need to arrange your own transportation back to the hotel. It
is a pleasant walk but would take about 45 minutes by
foot, so you may also want to jot down these taxi numbers just in case:
1-519-821-1700 (Red Top Taxi), 1 519-824-3110 (Canadian Cab),
although they are not always easy to reach/schedule. There
is also public transport by bus until 12:15AM (see
http://guelph.ca/living/getting-around/bus/schedules/
, and this
google maps link).
Below is a summary table of the conference locations. The maps show
directions from the Delta Hotel, where there will be students
volunteers to guide you Friday evening and Saturday and Sunday
morning. The Best Western is right accross the street (cross Gordon St.) from the
Delta and Days Inn is just down the street (walk northwest on Gordon
St.). Here is a
map showing the three hotels in relation to each other.
