The CanQueue conference started from a workshop organized by Dr. A.S. Alfa at the University of Manitoba in 1999. The name "CanQueue" was suggested and used at the meeting in London, Ontario, in 2000. The conference is one of the major queueing conferences in North America.
For those coming by car, there is inexpensive accomodation along Huron Church Road (which is the extension of Highway 401 into Windsor) heading toward the University. (e.g. Econolodge, Comfort Inn, and also the better quality Holiday Inn and Hampton Inn). Downtown hotels include Best Western, TraveLodge.
Accommodation: Students (or others on a budget, or those wanting something within a reasonable walk to the conference) may wish to try
Canterbury College .
Any other accomodation requires a very lengthy walk so a car may be needed.
I am recommending
Best WesternPlus Waterfront (277 Riverside Drive W Windsor, Ontario N9A 5K4) is quoting a University of Windsor rate of $115 per night. (3 km walk to university). 519-973-5555 or (800) 780-7234. Also see

- Windsor Sculpture Garden. Outdoor sculpture walk along the river from the university to downtown.
-
Windsor Art Gallery
http://www.agw.ca/ - Point Pelee National Park. One hour's drive south of Windsor. The most southerly point in mainland Canada. (Pelee Island is slightly more southerly.) A bird watcher's paradise. Leamington, along the way, is the Tomato capitol of Canada. The number of greenhouses is incredible.
- The Windsor area is getting to be known for its great wineries. Take a wine tour of the area.
- Chimczuk Museum. Windsor Community Museum.
- Canada South Science City. Small but nice.
- The Canadian Transportation Museum is quite nice, just outside of Windsor.

Henry Ford Museum, Greenfield Village, Detroit Institute of Art (fifth largest art museum in the USA), John King's used book store (my favorite).
