Meals

Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be provided at the Delta on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with the exception of Thursday dinner, which delegates will be expected to provide for themselves in downtown Toronto (transportation provided), and the Saturday night Gala Banquet which will take place downtown. Both vegetarian and omnivorous options will be available at the conference, and all special dietary needs will be taken into consideration to the best of our ability.

Shuttle Service

This year the conference will be providing a shuttle service for delegates both arriving and departing from the conference. The cost per delegate per trip remains to be determined, but it will be significantly below the cost of a commercial shuttle or taxi.

Delegates arriving at Pearson International Airport on Wednesday, January 21 should head to Terminal One, where a regular conference shuttle will be picking up delegates every half hour from 2:00pm until 10:30pm. A free shuttle service is available between terminals at Pearson.

Arriving by Car

The Delta Meadowvale is extremely easy to find: take the Mississauga Road exit (Exit 336) off the 401 and head south (right turn) on Mississauga Road.  You can see the Delta from the 401, as it is approximately 500 metres away.

Parking at the Delta costs $12.00 + tax for overnight stays, and a maximum of $6 for those not staying overnight.
