Información de viaje
Queen's University is located in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, partway between the major cities of Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. You can drive here via highway ON-401. You can also fly into either Toronto (YYZ or YTZ), Ottawa (YOW) or Montreal (YUL), and travel to Kingston by bus (several options) or train (VIA Rail Canada). There are also nearby airports in upstate New York, including Watertown (ART), Rochester (ROC), and Buffalo (BUF), but there are not any straightforward transit connections from these airports to Kingston.
We are in discussions with local hotels to provide discounted group rates; information on this will be communicated to teams once you register.
