Check-in/Check-out procedure
The intensive starts early on April 11, so everyone should plan to check-in on April 10 and depart on April 20. When you check in, you will need to show your credit card and ID to get your key. If you share a room, you do not need to check in at the same time with your room-mate, but you will need to check out together to clear your portion of the bill.

Parking

Parking in downtown Toronto is expensive so we encourage you to take a shuttle from the airport and use public transportation easily accessible in the downtown area. The classroom is within walking distance from the hotel. Parking at the hotel is $28 CAD plus tax per night.

Please reserve your room as soon as possible – definitely by January 10, 2017.
