The registration desk will be located upstairs in the Wu conference center. There will be a secure wireless connection available for checking e-mail and the like.
Crowne Plaza Hotel, 659 Queen St., 506-455-3371. "http://206.47.74.15/bims.cfm?size=400,400¢er=-666454,459599&zoom=8&point1=-666360,459599,1&UID=12345">map).
Delta Hotel, 225 Woodstock Road., 1-800-325-3535 or 506-457-7000. A four-star hotel on the river. Somewhat further from the campus 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.
Fredericton Inn, 1315 Regent, 506-455-1430, $89, or the City Motel, 1216 Regent, 506-450-9900, www.atyp.com/citymotel, $79. Both places are close to a large shopping mall with a food court, and the City Motel has a seafood restaurant on the premises. There is a major intersection nearby, so the rooms may be a touch noisy.
UNB Residence Services, caravanL@unb.ca, 506-453-4800. $27. Residence accommodation. Upon arrival, please go to the Residence Administration building (20 Bailey Drive) to pick up your keys. There should be someone there at any time of day or night. People staying in residence may conveniently eat lunch or dinner at the campus pub (The Cellar, www.cellarpub.com). It is not clear what arrangements will be possible for breakfast, although there should be a operational Tim Hortons on the St. Thomas University campus. There may also be something available in the SUB building on the UNB campus It takes about 25 minutes to walk to the downtown area from the campus, and somewhat less time to walk to a suburban shopping area with fast food restaurants (on Prospect Street, southwest of campus).
Elmcroft Place, 9 Elmcroft Pl., 506-452-1700.
www.bbcanada.com.
$95, single or double. A bed-and-breakfast, located close to the university
and to the Beaverbrook hotel.
additional
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.)
Brewbakers 546 King St. A pub, offering pizza, and salads.
The Cellar, www.cellarpub.com, basement of the S.U. building on the UNB campus, open 11am until late. Probably the most convenient lunchtime choice. Has a patio.
Dimitri's 349 King St., Excellent and inexpensive Greek food. Several other dining places are located nearby.
El Burrito Loco 304 King St, Good but somewhat
expensive Mexican food.
Mei's Chinese Restaurant 74 Regent St..,
Small and unpretentious restaurant, with fairly good chinese food.
Mexicali Rosa's 546 King St., Broad range of
dishes, with a Mexican influence. Recommended in both “Fodor's”
and “Where to eat in Canada.”
The Palate 462 Queen, eclectic, Swiss-influenced,
restaurant.
Rye's Deli and Pub 73 Carleton St., Sandwiches
and pub food.
Samba Brazil 91 York St. Brazilian buffet sometimes available, pizza always available.
Seasons Chinese Restaurant 369 Lincoln Rd. Not within walking distance of the downtown area — only accessible by car or taxi.
Smitty's Regent St. Mall. A fairly standard,
unadventurous, restaurant. May be of interest to those staying in the City Inn
or the Fredericton Inn.
Snooty Fox 66 Regent St., A British-style pub
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 $20. 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.
Local travel: a bus schedule, and transit map will be included in the registration package. The Wu conference center is on two bus routes (11S and 16S go to the Wu center, and 11N, 16N go back). The buses are not very frequent, so one needs to refer to the schedule.
Maps of the campus, city, and region are available online. A 5-day weather forecast is also available.
