The meeting will be held on the campus of the University of Toronto, with inexpensive rooms available in nearby hotels at special rates. Toronto is an exciting, diverse city with many attractions, ranging from excellent museums to fine dining. Since Toronto is the largest urban centre in Canada, travel to and from the city is easy and relatively inexpensive.
There are many forms of accommodations conveniently situated in the nearby area around the University of Toronto. These rates are somewhat variable.
For the following hotels, many of them offer discounted "university
rates" to visiting faculty and students to the University
of Toronto. Discounted rates can be obtained with student/faculty
identification. In some cases, they may require further
proof from the University of Toronto that you are indeed
a guest of the University. In such cases, please feel
free to email us at general.atrc@utoronto.ca and
we will be happy to send a letter to the hotel on behalf
of the conference to verify the nature of your visit.
Please include a list naming the specific hotel as well
as the names of each member of your group. The quoted
