For those requiring lodging in Victoria there are many options available. Unfortunately campus housing is unavailable, as the meeting is taking place during the examination period. As a result you will need to look for lodging off-campus.

  • The cheapest option is the , a hostel downtown with rates of O(40-50) CAD/night.
  • There are many hotels in, or near the Inner Harbour ranging in costs from O(120) CAD/night to 1/epsilon. You should be able to find reasonable rooms for about 140-160 CAD/night after some digging on the usual aggregators, like Kayak, Hotels.com, &c.

If you are staying downtown and do not have a car to travel to UVic and will use the bus, 

  • You may purchase a on the bus for 5 CAD. 
  • The natural bus lines are the 7, 14, and 15. See for complete schedules.
