I agree with the argument that the choice of Vancouver is not an either/or
option. There are still many other things that should be happening,
formally and informally. Vancouver is just one. Yes, it is a long way
away for many geographers, and does seem a fairly expensive proposition
(although remember your 'O' Level geography - you don't fly in a straight
line east-west a la Mercator, but cross the ice cap, so it's not that far
really...). We're doing all we can to try and bring down costs. We're
meeting this evening, and I'll bring up the question of group air costs.
And yes, Vancouver is a wonderful place to be in the summer....
