Survey says: your highest priority is a CONVENIENT LOCATION!
- Our venue offers a complimentary 24h shuttle to and from Pearson Airport, just 10 minutes away. Now that’s convenient.
- Do you have to bring a winter coat? Maybe not! Find restaurants, shopping, fitness facilities and spa, all on site. Plus, lots of space for us to be together and connect…and that’s what really matters.
Survey says: your second priority is GUEST ROOM RATES!

Two ways to lock in the lowest possible registration rate
Option 1:
Apply a $200 deposit to lock in this low, low rate.
How it works
For CAPS members, the early bird rate is $1,275, and this offer takes the price down to $1,000, but ONLY for the next 72 hours. Your $200 deposit means that your final payment of $800 will be due before or on the early bird deadline of September 14, 2026.
For non-members, your early bird rate is $1,575, and this offer takes the price down to $1,300, but ONLY for the next 72 hours. Your $200 deposit means that your final payment of $1100 will be due before or on the early bird deadline of September 14, 2026.
