If it is your first time in Toronto, here are a few more tips for travel and accommodation.
Accommodation at York University
The Executive Learning Centre at York University's Schulich School of Business offers
accommodation. It is right on campus.

However, if you plan on staying longer than the three days of the conference, or simply
want to take some time to visit the city, it would be better to find accommodation
downtown as you would be closer to Toronto's cultural life.

Commuting
From downtown, the best way to go to York University is to use the Yonge-University-
Spadina subway line toward the North to either Downsview or Sheppard-Yonge Station
(http://www3.ttc.ca/Subway/interactivemap.jsp). In both cases, you can then take bus
196 to York University. Commuting to York from downtown usually takes from 45 to 75
minutes, so plan your schedule ahead carefully.
