Hello everyone,

Based on positive response to date I have confirmed that there will be an all day tour of Niagara Falls, to take place Saturday October 20 immediately following the ICANN meeting in Toronto. Now that many of you are making travel arrangements at this time I would like you to consider joining us.

This is an all day tour that leaves the venue (the Westin Harbour Castle Hotel) at 08:30 and returns at 18:00.

The tour costs $99 (Canadian or USD) and includes:

• A private coach and guide from Niagara and Toronto Tours
  
• Travel through Ontario wine country, stopping at Pillitieri Estates Winery (including tasting of red, white and ice wine)
• 45 minutes stopover in the historic town of Niagara-on-the-Lake
• Scenic drive along the Niagara Parkway (just about the time of year the leaves will be turning colour)
• Guided photo stop at the Niagara gorge and whirlpool rapids
• Tickets for the Skylon observation tower overlooking the falls
• Three-course lunch at the top of the Skylon, in the Summit Suite restaurant
• Free time at the Falls and Clifton Hill tourist area
  

After evaluating various options, the tour operator has forgone pre-payment. However, it is necessary to confirm your intention to attend so that we can confirm sufficient numbers.

PLEASE COMPLETE THIS DOODLE POLL TO INDICATE YOU WILL BE GOING

Note: If ICANN is paying for your travel to Toronto, you will have to inform Constituency Travel about the later departure and pay for any hotel beyond Oct 19 yourself. If you are looking for less expensive accommodations nearby, you may consider the Super 8 Downtown Toronto, in Chinatown and a short streetcar ride from the venue Basic but reasonable and a great location. If that is unaailable, the Radisson Hotel Admiral Toronto-Harbourfront is slightly more expensive (though atill way less than the Westin) and less than five minute walk from the venue.

I hope you'll all enjoy Toronto and Canada!
