Drive.
For environmental and financial purposes, OCASI encourages participants to carpool with colleagues. If you expressed an interest in carpooling, please click here to fill out carpool board, or check the carpool board about possible opportunities to travel with other conference participants. Mileage will be reimbursed ONLY when at least two people share a car. Please contact Paulina Maciulis at pmaciulis@ocasi.org if you need information regarding participants from your city or if you can’t find someone to share a ride and need to drive alone.
From Northern Region (including Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Kenora and Sault Ste Marie)
Participants from Thunder Bay and Kenora may travel by air. Please book your air ticket early for best price. OCASI will reimburse the cost.
Participants from Sudbury and Sault Ste Marie may want to check if flying is a more economic option instead of taking the bus or driving. We recommend using the Toronto Island Airport and flying Porter Airlines. Visit https://www.flyporter.com/Flight for more information. Please consider that a taxi fare from this airport to the hotel is approximately $45.00. Contact Paulina Maciulis to discuss your options.
Whether flying or travelling by train or bus, please book your ticket as early as possible to get the best price. If this is not possible, please contact Paulina Maciulis at pmaciulis@ocasi.org for approval.
