Contributors to the Symposium are hosted at the Inn at Laurel Point.

Transportation

From Victoria airport to the Inn at Laurel Point: Please use the YYJ Airport Shuttle. The shuttle leaves every 30-45 minutes from the airport and it will drop you at the hotel. You can reserve your ticket online or purchase at the airport. The YYJ Airport Shuttle ticket stand is located right beside the baggage carousel. You can reserve your return ticket at the stand or directly with the bus driver.

From the Inn at Laurel Point to the University: The hotel is located in the city harbor at 8.3km from the University of Victoria campus. To limit the cost of transportation, we will organize a few taxi shuttles in the morning to the University, and in the evening to the hotel. We will contact the contributors in due course.
