All accommodation costs will be covered by the RCGS, participants will be staying in suite-style residences at the University of Ottawa (90U). Each participant will have their own bedroom with double bed and will share a bathroom space with another participant of the same gender.
Meals:
Breakfast, lunch and snacks for each day of the institute will be included. Participants will be required to cover their dinner each evening.
