Housing for FDF 2009 opens on November 10, 2008 and ends on January 26, 2009. We encourage everyone to book their rooms through the Ontario Convention Center using either of the following methods:

For on-line hotel reservations please use the following link:

Please Remember:

Always print clearly and include your email address. This is important because:

• A confirmation number will be emailed to you to advise you that the Housing Bureau has received your reservation request
• A second confirmation will be e-mailed to you once the hotel has entered your reservation into their hotel block.

Please wait four business days after the cutoff date of January 26, 2009 to make any changes to your reservation or to add/make reservations.

When you book your room through the Ontario Convention and Visitor’s Bureau you will receive a special rate and you will also help FDF!

Booking through the Ontario CVB allows us to track our room usage and it helps us to keep pricing lower. It also helps us to prepare each year and allows us to negotiate better rates based on room pick-up. If you DON’T book through the Ontario CVB we have no true way of knowing how many rooms FDF uses each year. Please see the attached letter for a more detailed description of why you should book your room though the Ontario Convention and Visitor’s Bureau:
