Summer School 2002 registrants
will be housed in the Royal Victoria College Residences
(RVC). These residences normally operate as a womens’ residence
during the school year, but are used for both genders during
the summer. There are two wings dating from 1931 and 1964.
Rooms are standard dormitory rooms with single beds, no
air conditioning or private telephone. Bed linens and towels
are supplied. A common hall bathroom is shared amongst many
rooms. Attendees should bring their own alarm clocks. A
map of the campus is available at http://ww2.mcgill.ca/StuServ/1stYear/discover/maps.html
(RVC dorms are located at building 180 in the bottom right
corner). Overflow attendees may be housed in the Bishop
Mountain Complex (building 134 at top right corner of map).
There are 4 internet access
computers available only at Bishop Hall Cafeteria at the
top of University Ave (15 minute walk uphill). Attendees
may wish to use paid internet services available in most
downtown cybercafes and some hotel lobbies.
Attendees are responsible
for reserving and confirming their housing with the McGill
University Residences as listed in the housing
form. The AAPM housing block will be dropped on June
15th but rooms may still be available after that date depending
on demand. It is recommended that families and couples
stay off campus at one of the nearby hotels listed under
Off Campus Housing if shared community bathrooms are not
desirable.
PLEASE NOTE: Housing
fees paid by check must be paid in Canadian dollars and
made payable to McGill University Residencies. The registration
fees are to be paid in U.S. dollars and made payable to
AAPM.
Except for the Friday Greek
dinner BBQ, all breakfast and lunches will be taken in the
Royal Victoria cafeteria located on the basement level of
the Royal Victoria Residence. People staying on campus must
register for the cafeteria meals. People staying off campus
may purchase meal tickets no later than June 26, but may
not purchase meals on site for cash. Vegetarian entrees
will be available at every cafeteria meal. For the Night
In, we will have a festive Steak and Salmon BBQ held at
the Royal Victoria Quad on Saturday night.
If you intend to rent a
car, please note parking policy under Ground
Transportation.
A number of off campus hotels
are available to those attendees wishing to stay in accommodations
with full services and air conditioning. A small number
of rooms have been blocked at Le Cantlie Suites Hotel and
the Holiday Inn but the blocks will be dropped June 18th.
Rates will increase to normal levels after this date. The
hotels listed are on Sherbrooke St., an easy walk to the
lecture theatres and Royal Victoria Residence (evening sessions).
Please note that July is an extremely busy tourist month
for Montreal and you may be disappointed if you delay booking.
You will be competing with the extremely popular Jazz festival
being held in Montreal this weekend. Attendees and families
not staying in the dorms may purchase their cafeteria meals
in advance by checking off the appropriate box on the registration
form. You may not purchase the cafeteria meals on site
for cash.
