Unfortunately, it appears likely that the Vancouver Transit Strike will still be in place during ICCBR-2001. This will not effect those who have booked accommodation close to the conference venue but will effect people who have chosen cheaper lodgings, particularly at the University campus.
Information on the strike and ways of dealing with it can be found on the following web sites.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you and hope the dispute is solved to everyone's' satisfaction soon.
