Canadian Multidisciplinary Road Safety Conference, June 6 - 9th, 2010 - Niagara Falls, ON

The Canadian Multidisciplinary Road Safety Conference is now less than three weeks away. This conference brings together a wide variety of disciplines related to traffic safety, including traffic engineers, health professionals, policy analysts, psychologists, police, insurance agencies, and accident reconstructionists. The conference planning committee is extremely excited about the conference program and hotel venue. For those of you already registered for this conference, you will note that we have updated a number of items on our website, including the conference registration page, conference schedule, the paper sessions, and instructions for registering at the hotel.

Hotel Accommodations

Don’t forget to book your room for the conference at the Hilton Fallsview. Hilton Fallsview has offered to extend the reserved block of rooms at the hotel until May 24th at a special rate of $129.00. This special rate is only available to conference delegates and includes complimentary parking . Register with the hotel by using this form and by contacting the registration desk directly - the special rate is not available online. After May 24th, the block of rooms will be released to the general public. Given that the conference is being held at the beginning of the peak tourist season in Niagara Falls, we don’t want you to lose your opportunity to secure your accommodations at the hotel where the conference is occurring.
