We look forward to welcoming growers from all around the World to Canada. I'm hearing that there will be many Canadian & several growers from across the pond in attendance. Exchange rates are very favorable for US growers, as the Canadian dollar is in the dumps.

The hotel is a very nice place to stay, with a great view of the falls. We hope to see you all there.

Cheers,
Jane & Phil

An enhanced driver's license can be used in place of a passport if you enter Canada by land or sea. If you fly, you need a passport.

Right now the city view room of $125 Canadian is $92.73 USD or .74 US to $1 Canadian.

Please remember that booking out of the GPC block costs the GPC money that directly affects the cost of these seminars. You may be able to find it cheaper on other sites but please support the GPC in it's efforts to bring the best possible show for the least amount of money.

It will be great to make the return trip to Niagara there are many awesome memories from this hotel. Do yourself a favor & book today I am sure this will be one of the biggest & best yet!!!!

im looking forward to the convention at the falls.
we have had some great times and great memories going to canada for many giant pumpkin/squash events.

my best memories are meeting howard dill, seeing my good friends and of course that plugged toilet insident caused by Dave Hampton many winters ago.(i dont think that room has ever been used since)
