The Rocky Mountains of Canada have been an international destination for well over a century now. The first
transcontinental railroad brought the first tourists to the legendary Banff Springs Hotel. With exceptional
mountain vistas, waterfalls and lakes to hike to in the summer and long, glorious ski trails and runs in winter, the
towns of Banff, Lake Louise and Canmore developed into year round destinations for the active tourist. Delegates
will be inspired to learn new skills, re-energize, practise self-care and network with other professionals while
enjoying the splendour of the Canadian Rockies. There will also be self catered optional tours made available to
delegates to experience the hot springs, the ice fields, the Sulphur Mountain Gondola and Lake Louise. It could be
argued the Rocky Mountains are both a center for resilience and a celebration of it in all it offers. Please review
and explore the accommodation, services and touring links provided below to plan your visit.

The venue for the conference will be the Radisson Canmore in Canmore. Canmore was the site for cross country events
at the 1988 Olympics and remains the national Nordic center and the gateway village to the Rockies. Banff, for example,
is just twenty minutes up the road.
As of August 1, 2012 there no longer are rooms available at the Radisson at the conference rate running the entire
period of the conference. While limited lodging at the Radisson remains available, those seeking accommodations over
the full conference period may now book with the property next door to the Radisson. The Windtower Lodge and Suites
has one and two bedroom suites and has kindly given the conference a preferred rate. The reservation # is 1 866 609
6600 and you will need to ask for the 2012 International Child and Youth Care Conference rate. The highlighted links
here will take you to either hotel.
For those with their own transportation, personal or a rental, the region offers a wide range of accommodations running
from standard to superior grades in the Canmore, Banff and Lake Louise triangle. These may be explored through the
regional links provided below. The conference recommends you factor in the commuting times to the Radisson venue from
any accommodation you select.
