Who, What, When, Where? Who? What? When? The program including an index of authors, subjects, locations and media is available here in pdf and Word Document form. Where? Find a map including the conference hotels and venue here. To get here from the airport, all your options are listed at the GTAA website. A taxi is easiest, and will cost about $53 one way (before tax or tip). The Airport Express bus can be taken to the Bond Street Hotel, which is a short walk from campus and the hotels. This is less expensive that a taxi, but the price will depend on whether you choose a one way or return fare. For details, see: http://http://www.torontoairportexpress.com/. Finally, for those of you who don’t have too much luggage, and don’t mind navigating the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) public bus and subway system, you can take the 192 Airport Rocket bus from the airport to Kipling subway station, go eastbound to the Yonge and Bloor station, and then go south on the subway to the Dundas station. This station is a short walk from campus. The price can’t be beaten: $3 for a one-way trip. If you are arriving by train or by bus, please consult this Google map showing the conference venues. For those arriving by bus to the Downtown bus terminal, it is possible to walk to campus if you do not have too much luggage. If arriving at Union Station, you can take a taxi to your destination or the subway to Dundas station and walk from there.
