If you are planning to stay in Niagara-on-the-Lake, and have yet to make reservations, please do so as soon as possible as it is high season for the Niagara region and accommodations are filling up quickly. Our Chorus America block of discounted sleeping rooms at the Pillar and Post is sold out. If you would like to stay at the Pillar and Post, Queens Landing, or Prince of Wales, call 1-888-669-5566 to see what rooms are still available.

If you need assistance, give us a call and we will be happy to assist you. Please note: If you’ve made reservations elsewhere, please ensure that you have allotted enough travel time to arrive at the Pillar and Post by noon on Friday and by 9am on Saturday and Sunday. Sessions will begin promptly to maximize time for learning and sharing. If you’re staying with another member of your organization, please double check with them to ensure they have made the appropriate accommodation arrangements.

"Niagara-on-the-Lake, often called the loveliest town in Ontario, has a long and distinguished history. Site of the old Neutral Indian village of Onghiara, it was settled at the close of the American Revolution by Loyalists coming to Upper Canada, many of whom had been members of the much feared Butler's Rangers based during the American Revolution at Fort Niagara, then under British control." - from http://www.niagaraonthelake.com/

Fly into Buffalo or Toronto—Niagara-on-the-Lake is less than an hour from either airport!

The Pillar and Post, renowned for its country charm, is intimately connected to Niagara-on-the-Lake's agricultural history.

The original structure was built in the late 1890s as a canning factory, and since has been lovingly transformed into a fine hotel. The hotel has a relaxed elegance, sunshine streaming in through skylights, and beautiful terra cotta tile floors. With our attentive service and commitment to the comfort of our guests, it's an ideal location for a family vacation or business meeting.

Don't be fooled by the building's humble past, though. Today, the Pillar and Post was voted the best hotel in Ontario and happens to be Ontario's only five-star country inn. It's not difficult to see why!

CMI Participants can take advantage of free parking at the Pillar and Post Inn.
