Improvising Care Conference Day 2: Improvising Care Training School, IICSI Annual Conference
Venue: McGill University, New Music Building/Elizabeth Wirth Building, 527 Sherbrooke St. West in room Room A832-833
Directions: Please note that these directions supersede those found here earlier. To enter the New Music Building/Elizabeth Wirth Building on Sunday, October 6, please use the entrance on Aylmer, approximately 100 meters north of Sherbrooke. There will be a Flux Festival staff person sitting inside the locked glass doors. You will need to identify yourself by name with photo ID, state that you are attending the Improvising Care Conference and sign an attendance sheet in order to be let in. Once you are in the building, take the elevator from the ground floor to 8th floor, turn right and walk towards the end of the hallway in order to access the conference space. We apologize for this rather intrusive (among other things!) procedure, which is due to McGill University deciding to drastically limit university activities and access in fear of possible protests related to the current situation in the Middle East targeting the university. We think it is important to add that no organized student groups have asked to have our events canceled, and no general boycott has been called for.
