On-site accommodation
|
|
The Write! Canada staff strongly recommends staying on-site in order to enhance the conference's connecting opportunities to meet new friends and colleagues, and to enjoy the sense of community and retreat setting. The conference schedule is very full; events start at 7 a.m. and run through to 11:30 p.m if you choose to participate. Staying on-site allows you to take full advantage of all the activities and relax without the added time and stress of commuting. |

Spaces are limited in all categories, particularly the Inn category. The most spaces are available in Dormitories. On the registration form, please indicate a first and second choice. |
