The Delta Hotel is a first-class venue, newly renovated, light, and airy, with wonderful public spaces for meeting, catching up, and networking. It is situated close to Parliament Hill, the National Gallery, the National Arts Centre, the National Library and Archives, and other national museums and monuments. An LRT rapid transit line links many of these sites, but most of them are also within easy walking distance. The University of Ottawa is also nearby. Given the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, we will be reviewing our venue plans in the spring of 2022, should it become necessary or advisable to switch to an online conference format. Such a decision would be taken in consultation with conference participants.
