Where to Stay in Vancouver
Unfortunately, there is a large conference on academic freedom taking
place on the same weekend as the Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar, so
all rooms on campus are booked. As there may be some cancellations, it
would not be a bad idea to at least try to get a room at the Gage
Conference Center (604-822-1010). Failing that, you should make a
reservation as soon as possible. The conference organizers recommend
checking out a bed and breakfast. Also there is limited space at the
home of a UBC Math Department member, who has offered to share his
apartment. Contact the conference organizers (Jim Carrell or David Austin) for information.
All prices quoted below are in Canadian dollars ($1 Canadian = $.74 US)
