Travel information

The meeting will be held in the Mathematics & Computer Building (MC) of the University of Waterloo.

Those coming from nearby might want to drive, here are some directions.

The nearest major airport is Toronto Pearson (YYZ). There is also a Region of Waterloo (YKF) airport, with very limited options.

The best way to get from the airport to Waterloo is to either pre-book a taxi (Waterloo Taxi and United Taxi both offer this service), or to rent a car at the airport. Arriving and taking a taxi from the taxi queue at Pearson is a more expensive option.

Delta Waterloo  is a fancy new hotel in Uptown Waterloo, a pleasant 25 minute walk from campus through Waterloo Park.
