PCAMM Fourth Annual Meeting, December 11, 1999
Final Program
The PCAMM meeting will be held in the Halpern Centre of the Burnaby Campus of 911吃瓜. For directions please see the online map at http://www.sfu.ca/bbymap/. We recommend that attendees park in the visitor parkade. Persons with valid UBC faculty stickers can park free. Others should retain their PCAMM name tag to show the attendant on the way out and the fee will be waived. The Halpern centre is located near the northwest corner of the convocation mall, just between the academic quadrangle and the library. Registration is free of charge.
