Please allow at least 10 days for mail delivery to Ottawa. 1. HOTEL ACCOMMODATIONS The NELS 23 Organizing Committee has signed a contract with the Holiday Inn located at the Ottawa Market Square (350 Dalhousie St.) at a special flat rate of $69.00 (Canadian) per night, plus tax (maximum occupancy: 4 persons) for the evening preceding the conference (October 15), as well as the duration of the meeting itself (October 16-18). This hotel is conveniently located within walking distance to the University of Ottawa and it is also very close to restaurants and shops. The number of rooms reserved is limited and the final cut-off for reservations is September 25, 1992. To make your reservation please call Holiday Inn at (613) 236- 0201, mentioning the NELS 23 convention code. There are two ways to get from the airport to the Holiday Inn. First, you can take a taxi. (Call Blue Line Taxi Co. at (613) 238-1111 or A-1 Taxi at (613) 746-1616.) Fares are about $25.00 and the trip takes approximately 20 minutes. Alternatively, you may take the Airport Shuttle which runs every half hour from the airport and costs $9.00 per person. Unfortunately, the shuttle does not stop at the Holiday Inn, but rather, two and a half blocks directly south of it. You get off at the stop for Les Suites Hotel and walk straight down Dalhousie Street. To walk from the Holiday Inn to the conference hall on 125 University street takes about 10 minutes. Exit the hotel on Dalhousie Street, turn right on Dalhousie and walk down it until you reach Rideau Street (one block). Make a left on Rideau Street and walk down it until you reach Cumberland Street (two blocks). Make a right on Cumberland and walk straight down it into the University of Ottawa until you reach University street (5 blocks). Make a right onto University, which wraps around the Morisset Library and the Uni-Centre, eventually reaching Montpetit Hall, which is 125 University. The conference hall is called the De Celles Amphitheatre and the room number is 202. 2. PARKING ON CAMPUS Parking is free on the University of Ottawa campus on weekends. The parking lots closest to the conference hall are N and X located at the intersection of University Street and Jean-Jacques Lussier Street. Please note, however, that on Thursday and Friday you will have to get a permit at Traffic Services located on 100 Thomas More and you will have to use the underground lot next to Traffic Services. Permits cost $9.00 per day. For additional info call the Traffic Office at (613) 564-3954. 3. COPYING/FAX SERVICES There are two copy centers located on Rideau Street, which you will be walking by on your way to campus from the Holiday Inn. These are Rapid Copy and Zippy Print. The best quality one is Zippy Print located at 227 Rideau Street. Its telephone number is (613) 236-0340 and its FAX number is (613) 230-1433. Unfortunately, the commercial services are generally closed on the weekend. Alternatively, you can use the xeroxing services available on the main floor of the campus library located in Morisset Hall at 65 University Street. The campus facility is open on the weekend, but to use it, you will have to buy a campus copy card. (Ask at the check-out desk of the library.) 4.
