Housing
All conference housing is within walking distance of the
headquarters hotel, the Château Laurier. Because of the heavy
demand for hotel space during the high season, please reserve
early. The exact prices will be posted in October 2001. The
Ottawa Tourism and Convention Authority will handle all
hotel reservations.
Three categories of accommodation will be available. At the
basic level, rooms at the University of Ottawa residences can be
booked by any conference participant. These are simple
accommodations, with washrooms down the corridor and no air
conditioning. We expect the prices to be in the range of $25 US
dollars per night. Middle-range accommodations will be
available at several downtown hotels, including some that feature
suites with kitchen facilities. These facilities offer air
conditioning and private washroom facilities. We expect the
prices to range from $75 to $120 US dollars per night. Our
headquarters hotel, the Château Laurier, offers luxury
accommodation and very attentive service. Rooms are decorated
with a Victorian touch. All are air-conditioned, but with
windows that open, and have tastefully decorated washrooms.
The Art Deco swimming pool is an Ottawa landmark. There is
also a popular Health Club. We expect the nightly rate to be
about $150 US dollars per night.
Full entry and washroom access for persons with physical
disabilities is available at the Château Laurier, Les Suites, Cartier
Place, and Marriott Residence Inn. Some of the other hotels
provide partial access. Please make your needs known at the time
of reservation.

Venue
A historical landmark, the Château Laurier Hotel, will be the
headquarters of the meeting. Conceived as the flagship hotel in a
chain of railway hotels stretching across Canada, the Château was
commissioned in 1907 by Charles Melville Hays, the flamboyant
general manager of the Grand Trunk Railway of Canada. Hays
wanted the hotel to reflect the architecture of the French
Renaissance, yet harmonize with Ottawa’s neo-Gothic Parliament
buildings nearby. The Château occupies a majestic setting
overlooking Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal, Confederation
Square and Major’ Hill Park.
