2. Accommodation and local transport

Sledge and Randombird are staying at http://www.squarephillips.com/ downtown, expecting to use the Metro to get to/from the venue. The venue is on the Green (Verte) line at Pie-IX, and the hotel is a few minutes' walk from McGill, also on the Green line.

The Société de transport de Montréal (STM) has an Oyster-like card called Opus, which looks worthwhile picking up in town. A weekly pass is 25.75 CAD for unlimited travel for a Monday to Sunday (inclusive), with some restrictions. It does include the P.-E. Trudeau/Downtown airport shuttle (747).

3. Travel to/from Montréal

Probably the only viable option is to fly, but someone is bound to want a road trip.

4. Entry requirements

[[http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/apply-who.asp#eta|No visa required for UK passport holders]]. Instead fill in an Electronic Travel Authorisation Form. It's probably wise to have at least six months passport validity at the time of entry.
