All Bachelier Congress attendees are advised to:
1) Carry photo ID at all times

2) Allow extra travel time to and out of the downtown Toronto core, especially when going to the airport on June 26
---------

"Your conference will be affected by the substantial traffic disruptions, delays, and congestion in the downtown core. Also the whole week, but especially nearing the weekend of the summit, there will be large numbers of people, protestors and police in the area.
Yes, your delegates should carry ID, and be aware of the nature of the crowds, however, they are not within a security zone so will not require registration. ."
