ACCOMMODATIONS AT SILS 2005

ACCOMMODATIONS

We have block-booked dorm rooms at the University of Victoria, and reservations for these rooms must be booked by April 1, 2005 to ensure your accommodation is secured. After April 1, 2005, reservations will be made on a first-come/first-served basis.

For those who prefer to stay in a hotel or motel, please note again that this is peak travel and tourism season, so rates are significantly more than the University dorms, and most hotels are approximately a 30-minute drive from the University.

To book your room, please contact the University of Victoria’s housing office directly at housing@uvic.ca or call (250) 721-8395.

University of Victoria Student Residence
The University of Victoria campus is located in a park like setting just twenty minutes from downtown Victoria, the capital city of the Province of British Columbia. SILS 2005 delegates wishing to take advantage of the great value offered at the new University of Victoria student residences should contact the housing office directly: http://housing.uvic.ca/

Single and Double Rooms
$45.00 CAD single occupancy per night, including tax and breakfast.
$55.00 CAD double occupancy per night, including tax and breakfast.

There are lounges in all building with cable TV. Shared washroom facilities are located on each floor, designated by gender.

Cluster Housing
$180.00 CAD per night for complete 4-bedroom unit including tax.
Each unit includes four single bedrooms, kitchen, living room, two washrooms and separate shower room. They are fully furnished and self-contained, offering the convenience of on-campus living with added privacy.

Pre-paid meal vouchers are also available.

When making your booking, please mention that you will be attending the SILS 2005 Language Conference co-hosted by UVic and FPCF.

Victoria Hotels
There is a lack of hotel accommodation close to the University. Most better quality hotels are close to the inner harbour. Delegates wishing to stay in hotels rather than at the University residences will have a thirty-minute bus ride between downtown and the University. Budget hotels are away from the downtown core and less accessible to the UVic bus route.
