Is there a discounted rate for accommodation?

The time of our conference coincides with “Fireworks” weekend and the cruise season in Vancouver. Hence, hotels are busier and rates are generally higher. Special conference rates extended to us by SWC are $289++ for double occupancy, and $339++ for quad occupancy for reservations made no later than June 27, 2018. These rates are available to us for accommodations between July 24th and August 1st. It is a really good deal considering that regular summertime rates at SWC for double and quad occupancy range between $675 and $814 plus applicable taxes. There are only a limited number of rooms blocked for us so don’t delay, register now.
