Travel 

This year, CPDW is set to unfold at the University of Windsor, situated in the southern reaches of Ontario, near the vibrant cityscape of Detroit. For those traveling, the journey can be made by car, following the convenient 401 highway from GTA. Alternatively, attendees can opt for the train (https://www.viarail.ca/en/plan/train-schedules/toronto-london-windsor) departing from Toronto Union Station. Air travel is another option, considering Windsor’s accessibility.

For those travelling from United States, please consider an option to fly to Detroit and cross the border using Ambassador bridge (by car), or a tunnel (by car or bus).  Given the early morning start on May 3rd, participants are encouraged to plan their arrival a day in advance to ensure a smooth and relaxed beginning of the workshop.
