Note: Monday is a pretty light schedule for everybody but UBC^ and Ducky; if it is possible for people to get badges later, it might make sense for some people to come in Monday night instead of Sunday night. Of course, it should be fun to spend a day in Banff.  | |||||||

| < < | UBC^ is staying at the Banff Springs Fairmont Hotel -- the blue A on the map | |||||||
| > > | Two rooms with two beds each at the Fairmont are paid for by IBM. (W00t, thanks IBM!) The CS Department has expressed willingness to pay for a room for Ducky at the Fairmont (and she'll put Jim in there as well.) The department has expressed willingness to pay for cheaper rooms for UBC*. The department has expressed UNwillingness to pay for rooms for UBC+. | |||||||
| Changed: | ||||||||
| < < | The department balked at paying for $420/night rooms for UBC*, but they are willing to pay something around $200/room. I was worried that cheaper hotels would be a impossibly loooong way away, but it turns out they are only an annoyingly long way away. | |||||||
| > > | Ducky is exploring creative financing of rooms. She's made a map of the location of some of the hotels, with room rates. | |||||||

Transportation in BanffThere is a local bus service called the "Happy Bus" which runs until midnight ($2 fare), and which goes everywhere we want to go. It looks dead-easy. | ||||||||
