The scientific program will begin Monday morning July 14 at 9am in Angus 104 and will finish on Saturday July 19 at the end of the morning session (12:30pm). On Wednesday afternoon July 16 there will be a Vancouver city tour followed by a dinner cruise with Harbour Ferries. Pickup time will be 2:30pm in front of Gage Towers. On Friday evening there will be a banquet starting at 7:30PM. PREREGISTRATION If you plan to attend the conference and have not preregistered, or if you would like more information to enable you to decide whether to attend, then please preregister as soon as possible. To preregister, and thus receive future announcements as well as a registration form and a housing form please send e-mail to johnm@math.ubc.ca with subject `preregistration'. Please provide your name and a postal address in the body of the message. HOUSING DEADLINE Accomodation is available on the U.B.C. campus in a block of rooms being held for CT97 until June 13, one month before the starting date of the conference. On June 13 all rooms from our block which have not been individually reserved will be released to the public for reservation. After this time one can still request space on an individual basis, but the outcome is less certain, especially since a major music festival begins in Vancouver on July 18. If you think that you may attend but are not sure yet, then you may find it advisable to reserve a room since this can be done by email on the housing form and for the single rooms with shared washroom it does not require a deposit. If you have preregistered but have misplaced your room reservation form, then please send email to johnm@math.ubc.ca with the subject Housing and a room reservation form will be sent to you. TALK DEADLINE If you wish to give a talk and have not yet informed the organizers, then please let us know of your intention by May 31 by sending email to johnm@math.ubc.ca including a title, if possible. Abstracts should be sent to stone@math.ubc.ca by June 10. There may be parallel sessions on some afternoons. The total number of speakers may have to be limited as well.
