The STC Conference in Toronto is being held in the heart of the city
of Toronto. I would strongly advise _against_ getting your money
exchanged at the airport -- their rates are usually higher than at
any of the banks, many branches of which are in the conference area.
Get some money transferred at you local bank before you leave and
then obtain the additional funds at a Canadian bank or, as has been
suggested on this list, use your debit card or your Mastercard or
Visa card. I have had friends visit from the US and many employees
and customers of where I work (Canadian branch of a US company) have
not had any p[roblems using their cards at hotels and restaurants in
the city.
If you have any questions, drop by the Toronto Chapter Hospitality
booth and we will try to assist you in any way. We even have
several members who work for the Canadian Imperial Bank of Canada -
one of the largest - so we can get the straight goods if problems
occur. Toronto Chapter members will be very visible all during the
conference and we are dedicated to making your visit to our city and
enjoyable and memorable one.
See you when you get here
