CONVENTION LOCATION & ACCOMMODATIONS

 

The Governors House on Nipissing University campus is the 2009 CVF/FCV convention venue. The University with 20 kilometres of trails on-campus is overlooking Lake Nipissing. The bus/train station and airport are only a 15 minutes drive from the campus. For driving directions that will lead you to the campus please visit the University’s website at  Directions

Accommodations are available throughout the City of North Bay and at The Governors House which is among the most popular Nipissing University halls of residence . It offers single rooms and shared bathrooms at very low cost. Click Residences for more descriptive details. Residences at Nipissing University are relatively modern and each room is a single room. This is probably one of the most economical choices which also keeps you at the centre of the convention activity.
