Parking
If you will be driving/carpooling, visitor parking is available at McMaster as described on the Parking Services webpage. Please consider arriving 30 minutes prior to the start of the first event you will be attending each day. The recommended visitor parking lots that will be closest to the conference events are parking lot G and parking lot H. Should these lots be full upon arrival, you can park in lots I, M, and Q, although these are located a 10-15 min walk away. Each of these parking lots facilitates payment through the HONK parking mobile app, or via text-to-pay, and QR codes and the text message number are posted on signs throughout the lots. Visitor parking on weekdays is $6.00/hr or daily maximum $20.00, and daily maximum $8.00 on weekends (and is always a flat daily rate of $8.00 in parking lot M). A detailed map of the parking lots available on the McMaster campus can be found here.
There is a large fundraiser walk-a-thon taking place on the McMaster University campus on Sunday, October 18th – please note that any CUPC visitors planning to park are being asked to park in parking lot M on this date. The campus will have a higher volume of traffic on this date and there may be parking lot attendants directing visitors based on the event they are attending.
