Hotel Information

 Dan and I have decided to offer 2 hotel choices for this year’s Canadian Cameron Convention.

I have selected 2 hotels that both offer great location and easy access to highways and the golf course. The hotels do carry a little bit of a price difference to suit everyone’s budget.

2)   DEPARTURE DATE:         Saturday September 19, 2009

3)   ROOM TYPE:            Standard: 2 Queen beds (Cityview)

4)   RATE:               Friday - $119.00                              
5)   CHILDREN:            Children stay free in room. 

6)   CHECK-IN:            4:00PM

12)   If you are planning on arriving early the $119 rate will be applied to additional days. Saturday is available but will be at a higher cost(about $50 extra)


Quality Hotel & Conference Center-- http://www.qualityhotelniagarafalls.com/default.aspx

7)   CHECK-OUT            11:00am

   CUT-OFF DATE:   All rooms must be booked before August 18, 2009 in order to receive the group rates

As the Quality Hotel is located closer to downtown. I would recommend reserving a room above the 9th floor with an even number room. This will provide the best view.

You are responsible for booking your own room. You are welcome to arrange your own accommodation if you like.

To receive the rates posted please reference Canadian Cameron Convention at the time of booking.

I am the contact person for both hotels. Please don’t hesitate to PM or post any questions.

Adam

Most of the wineries are pretty close to each other so it would be no problem to vist a few extra. If you contact the hotel you are at , they would be able to provide plenty of information.

Blue maple leaf? I'm OUT. 
 

[SimRinguet]

does that mean that the event's winning score must be 67 or lower?

[Lumpy11]

Blue maple leaf? I'm OUT. 
 

As a pretty devoted Habs fan myself, I have seen the whole cover. It does look awsome. Just remember the blue maple doesn't represent the leafs as Scotty probably wouldn't have approved the cover if it did.

I'm not a Habs fan either, but I did find this very funny:


I may have to make a Sens jersey up like this too and wear it during the CCC.

[Big John]

Of course there are still some REAL LEAF FANS LEFT!!!!!

[Brad Fraser]
