The 2014 Organizing Committee has secured a competitive room rate of $119/night based on double occupancy including free parking (non-overnight guests can also park at the hotel at a rate of $5/day). A link to the Hilton’s CAA group booking will be available shortly until then guests can call 1-800-210-9336 to reserve a room; make sure to mention the Canadian Archaeological Association Annual Meeting to get the preferred rate. This room rate will only be available until March 31, 2014 or until the allocated block of rooms has been filled. A web link will be provided soon for online registration.
