CNRS Annual Conference - Hamilton, Ontario

Thursday, 16 June – Saturday, 18 June 2005

Theme:

Rivers, Lakes, Canals and the Sea

    The City of Hamilton, situated on the western end of Lake Ontario, has had a long connection with the waters lapping its shore and the maritime world accessible beyond.  As the home of steel and associated manufacturing industries, Hamilton is proud of its industrial past and optimistic about its prospects for the future.  With its own major airport, the city is within driving distance from Toronto and other Southwestern Ontario cities.  The CNRS is pleased to choose Hamilton to host the 2005 Annual Conference.

    The conference will be held at historic Dundurn Castle, run along with the Hamilton Military Museum by the City of Hamilton.  A reception at the naval reserve division HMCS Star and tours of HMCS Haida are in the programme.  Walking tours and nearby Welland Canal are also local attractions.  The Admiral Inn (905-529-9100), a hotel across the street from Dundurn Castle, is offering a special conference rate with pre-booking.  For the budget conscious, rooms are also available in McMaster University’s residences at reasonable rates and a short bus ride or drive to Dundurn Castle.  Participants should make their arrangements early.

Come join us in Hamilton in June 2005.
