Dates
- GO consortium meeting will be held on October 21-22, 2008 (Tues-Wed)
- SAB meeting will be held on October 23, 2008 (Thurs)
Venue
Mont Gabriel, 45 miles north of Montreal.
Registration
- Reserve your room by calling the hotel at 1-800-668-5253 and identify yourself as part of the Northwestern University group.
Sorry, no online registration.
- If you participate in both the GO meeting and the SAB, you should check in on the 20th (Monday) and leave on the 24th, as we are planning full days meetings.
- You will need to pay a 50$ deposit by credit card at the time of reservation.
- PLEASE REGISTER BEFORE SEPTEMBER 12, 2008
Room
- There is a choice between two kinds of rooms (depending on availability) Rustique (log cabin-style) and Marquise (some of which have a small balcony).
Cost
- The cost per day is CAN $208.00 (~208$ USD), including dinner, accommodation, breakfast and lunch (which includes taxes and service). If you plan to miss a meal, the price will be adjusted accordingly ($17 for breakfast, $22 for lunch, $43 dinner).
- If you want to share a room (two double or queen beds); in that case the price for the room is the same, $126, so that's $63 per person.
- We will need to charge a small fee (10-15$) for coffee breaks but this needs to be done separately.
Food
- Bien sur, the menu is French-inspired, which means quite a bit of meat. However, there will always be fish and vegetarian options. Contact me if you have special requirements.
Transportation
- Fly to Montreal-Trudeau Airport (YUL). This airport used to be called Dorval, you may still see that sometimes (like on Google maps!).
- The hotel offers a shuttle from the Montreal Trudeau Airport for up to 6 people for a flat rate of $140.
- A taxi would be about 100$ (Taxis des Pays-d'en-Haut, 450-227-3000; I suggest you call in advance).
- You can also rent a car from the airport. YUL-Gabriel Driving instructions.
