BIRS is located on the [http://www.banffcentre.ca/ Banff Centre] campus.  Upon arrival, check-in at the front desk reception in the Professional Development Centre building (see Banff centre map).  Reception can direct you to Corbett hall where all BIRS participants will be staying.  There is no official programming for the workshop on Sunday.
