Parsad Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 One of the board members cannot attend the AGM next week, but has a non-refundable room reserved at the Fairmont Royal York for Wednesday, April 10th. He does not want anything for it, but I would suggest a nominal fee to him, or a nominal donation to the CCFC at the dinner. If you want the room, please contact me and I will get you in touch with him. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsad Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 FFhWatcher came up with a great idea...auction off the hotel room. He bid $100, and then Indirectinvestor called me and bid $125. You can bid directly here. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsad Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 By the way, the deadline for the auction is 12PM PST Friday. So if you want to bid for the room...better get it in. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubsfan Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 In case you're interested, I just booked a room at the Strathcona Hotel about 1 block away. Room rate is $144/night. Never stayed there, so we will see how it is. http://www.thestrathconahotel.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshiremystery Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 In case you're interested, I just booked a room at the Strathcona Hotel about 1 block away. Room rate is $144/night. Never stayed there, so we will see how it is. http://www.thestrathconahotel.com I stayed there already last year and was completely satisfied with their value proposition. I usually never spend much on intangible goods and services, because it's thrown away money. I got my room in some bundle with plane tickets at expedia, so I paid much less, something below $100 a night for the room. A lot of other board members also stayed there. A comparable value would be the Bond Place Hotel near Dandas square, but it would be a little further away. Anyway,... there is some funny YouTube video about them, where in the end (at 2:40min),... the general manager and his assistant state that the Royal York is the best hotel in town, and they are only the second best choice, but in terms of price they bet them ;) http://www.youtube.com/#/watch?v=-5t1E1Mjtqo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
