Accommodations

Various accommodation options are available during the symposium. The City of St. John’s website has a fairly comprehensive listing of accommodations. See the BBCanada.com for a listing of bed and breakfast accommodations.

Memorial University is a 20-25 minute walk from the downtown/harbour front core. If you are hoping to avoid getting your exercise (or a car rental), you may find that the bus service in town suits your needs, particularly if you choose accommodations downtown. There are direct routes from the downtown core to MUN campus. More details can be found at Metrobus Transit.
