The main venue for the PHSC Symposium 2018 is the Hamilton Sheraton Hotel, located at 116 King Street West in Hamilton. If traveling by car, the hotel is a short distance from Highway 403. Please note that King Street is a one-way street. There is very convenient parking available underground at the hotel, which you can access on King Street.

Rental cars are of course available, but please note that there is a daily parking charge at the Hamilton Sheraton Hotel that is not included in the room rate.

The arrival destination in Hamilton is the Hamilton GO Centre, near Hunter and James Streets. This is a few blocks from the hotel, which could be reached on foot or by taxi (see the map above, on which the GO Station appears as a blue train icon).

There is also GO Train service from Toronto Union Station to the Hamilton GO Centre. Use the Lakeshore West line: eastbound, westbound.
