Getting to the GCC Summit
Assuming you're flying in from out of town, and staying at the conference hotel:
- Arrive Ottawa airport (code: YOW) (see ground transportation info)
- Have CDN$ 3.00 handy for bus fare. (Advice from Matthew Wilcox:]
don't rent a car, parking sucks, and it's much more expensive.]
It's best to take the OC Transpo bus, and it's much easier]
to buy bus tickets since you get change. Buy 4 tickets; 2 to get you
downtown, and 2 back. It'll cost you $3.80 total instead of $6.)
- Board OC Transpo bus #97 at post 14 outside the level 1 Arrivals area.
(See schedule,
Transitway map)
- Exit bus at Mackenzie King Transitway station (at Centre Rideau); see
walking map.
(Advice from Matthew Wilcox: don't try to go through the Rideau Centre; you'll get lost. Walk back
the way the bus came and go down the steps from the bridge to Nicholas.)
- Walk about one block north and two blocks east to Les Suites, 130 Besserer St. 1-800-267-1989;
map, links
- The registration desk will be open from 14h00-18h00 Tuesday
on the Capital Hall Level (Lowest Level) of the
Ottawa Congress Centre
(map, links).
If you are staying at
Les Suites all you need to do to get there is exit the front doors of the
hotel and turn left, cross the road towards the Rideau Centre and turn
Left, then take your first right which will go under the building. The
entrance to the Capital Hall will be on the left side (Opposite the Westin
Hotel, if you're in the Westin there is a sky-bridge to the Congress
Centre).
