Previous information:
Event Description: Our workshop is a satellite event of the 2012 Summer Meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society. It will be run in parallel with the last two days of the Workshop in Algebra and Geometry. The two workshops will be held in adjacent rooms on the University of Regina Campus, Education 191 and Education 193, with coffee breaks taking place in CK 187 just around the corner. Workshop lunches will be held at the Luther College Cafeteria in an adjacent building. The Workshop will begin at 10AM on May 31. (See the tentative schedule.) Participants should plan to arrive the evening of May 30 if possible.
The CMS Summer Meeting will begin downtown at the Regina Inn with a Public Lecture at 6 PM on June 1, followed by the Welcoming Reception at 7 PM. For the latest special session schedule, visit the CMS website. All Special Session talks will be at these two downtown hotels.
For Speakers: Those giving Workshop sessions should send their titles and abstracts to the conference organizers. Those giving talks in the special session should submit your abstract through the CMS website at your convenience, on or before their deadline of April 15.
For Travellers: The Regina International Airport (Code: YQR) has connections to Toronto, Calgary, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, and Vancouver through Air Canada or Westjet, a Delta connection to Minneapolis, and United Airlines connections to Chicago and Denver. The airport is a 10 minute taxi ride from Downtown, 20 minutes to the University, costing $15-25 CDN.
Regina lies at the intersection of Trans Canada #1 and Saskatchewan Highways #6 and #11. It is approximately 8 hours drive from Calgary or Edmonton, 6 hours from Winnipeg, 3 hours from Saskatoon, and 5 hours from Minot, ND, the closest American city. The Bus Station in Regina is 3 blocks North of the Regina Inn, a short walk along Broad Street. A taxi from the bus station to the University costs $10-15 CDN.
Accommodation: The CMS Meeting will be held at two downtown hotels, the Regina Inn and the Ramada Inn, at the corner of Broad St. and Victoria Ave. in downtown Regina. These two hotels are right accross Broad St. from one another. The CMS has arranged a special rate of $120 per night from May 29 to June 6 for meeting participants. To reserve at either of these hotels, go to the CMS Summer 2012 website and follow their ACCOMMODATION instructions to make your reservation.
For those requiring financial support or a more affordable option, the workshop organizers have arranged for a number of subsidized rooms in the University of Regina Residence, with breakfast for these people at Luther College Cafeteria for all 5 days of the meeting. Preference for subsidized rooms will be given to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Please contact one of the workshop organizers to request one of these rooms. Limited travel subsidies for students or postdoctoral fellows may also be available, contact us to request this as well. There are a number of other special arrangements being made for certain workshop participants who will be contacted directly by the organizers, so those persons should already be aware of their situation.
Meals: Participants will be responsible for their own dinner. Lunches during 2 days of the workshop are being arranged with Luther College Cafeteria, as is breakfast for all 5 days for persons staying in the Residence. If you have dietary restrictions, please let us know so we can pass it on to the Cafeteria people.
Registration Fees: For the first 2 day workshop, a small registration fee of $50 CDN will be charged to workshop participants. This fee will be waived for those receiving financial assistance. For the 3 day CMS Special Session, CMS Meeting participants should register online at the CMS Website.
