The conference talks will take place in the Forestry Complex, at 1350 Regent Street, Fredericton, NB, Canada. This location is a few kilometers west of the main campus of the University of New Brunswick, and is marked by a star in the interactive map below. Talks begin on the 7th of June, 2010, immediately after the Summer meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society. People wishing to attend both meetings should make their own arrangements with the CMS meeting. We have no registration fees for the Symposium, but of course the CMS meeting has its own registration fees.We do have some funding specifically for graduate students. There will be a banquet at McGinnis Landing, a downtown restaurant located at 280 King St., Fredericton.
It is recommended that participants stay at the Fredericton Inn, 1315 Regent, 506-455-1430, which is about 500 meters from the location of the conference talks. Participants should make their own arrangements directly with the hotel, and mention that they will be attending the Canadian Operator Algebras Symposium (COAS 2010). There is a large shopping mall with food court next door, as well as a strip of fast food restaurants on the nearby Prospect Steet.
City Motel, 1216 Regent, 506-450-9900. Starts at $79 per night. About 500 meters from the location of the conference talks. There is a major intersection nearby, so the rooms may be a touch noisy. Close to fast food, shopping mall, and food court.
UNB Forestry Complex Residence Services. Please contact the organizers for residence accomodation. Residence accomodation costs $35 per night for a single room, $25 per person per night for a double room.. The residence is connected by a tunnel to the building that the conference is in.

The above locations are the only ones that are really close to the conference. Most of the other possible venues will mean taking a taxi to the conference.
Crowne Plaza, formerly the Lord Beaverbrook Hotel, 659 Queen St., 506-455-3371. Downtown, many restaurants nearby.
Sheraton Hotel, 225 Woodstock Road., 1-800-325-3535 or 506-457-7000. A four-star hotel on the river. Somewhat further from the conference than the Beaverbrook, so that you will definitely need to take a taxi to the location of the conference. The hotel restaurant is quite popular, and there is also a second restaurant, the Diplomat, located beside the hotel. There is a nice walking path by the river.
Carriage House Inn, 230 University Avenue. 506-452-9924. www.bbcanada.com. $95. A bed-and-breakfast, located close to the university

accommodation information
It is easy to find a restaurant by strolling through the downtown area, bounded by Queen Street on one side and Brunswick Street on the other (See map). Some are listed below, and more can be found through www.dineaid.com. On Saturday morning, one can also eat at one of the kiosks in the Boyce Farmer's market (665 George St., more details in the next section.). Smitty's, listed below, the Forestry Complex's cafeteria, and the local shopping mall's food court, are the three options closest to the conference venue. The cafeteria in the basement of the Forestry complex is open sporadically.
Brewbakers 546 King St. A pub, offering pizzeria, and salads.
The Cellar, www.cellarpub.com, basement of the S.U. building on the UNB campus, open 11am until late. Has a patio.

expensive Mexican food.

On Saturday morning, one can visit the Boyce Farmer's Market, a very popular local institution. A range of meats, cheeses, and baked goods is available, and it is possible to eat a delicious breakfast or lunch there. In addition to the indoor dining area, there are street vendors selling a wide range of food and snacks (the Thai food stall is especially recommended).
The Beaverbrook Art Gallery is right next to the Lord Beaverbrook hotel, and packs a lot into a small space. It is well worth a visit, and has several Dalis, as well as works by the Group of Seven, Botticelli, Constable, etc. Only abour four percent of the permanent collection is on display at any one time, so there is always something new to see. We have a number of free tickets for the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, please inquire after arrival if interested.
Fredericton has several walking trails, one of which runs right behind the Beaverbrook Hotel, by the St. John river. It leads to a footbridge across the river, from which there is a nice view of the downtown area.
By air: Most people will be flying to Fredericton via Toronto, Halifax, or Montreal. The Fredericton airport is currently being enlarged, and there are plans to offer direct international flights from Boston in the USA, and possibly from somewhere in Europe also. Upon arrival, one can take a taxi to any of the downtown hotels or bed-and-breakfast establishments for about $17. For example, A1 Taxis, who charge according to a zone system, can be reached by phone at 455-4444. Another company is Trius at 454-4444.
By road Fredericton is on the Trans-Canada highway (Highway 2). Take the Regent St. exit (Downtown Fredericton), and then either follow more specific instructions obtained from your hotel or bed-and-breakfast, or refer to a map.
Maps of the campus and region are available online. A 5-day weather forecast is also available.
We thank the organizations (especially AARMS and the University
of New Brunswick) that have given this conference financial support.
