- Etc.
1900 NDT to 2300 NDT - Dinner/drinks at a local restaurant (The Fish Exchange would be a good option)

Popular Frequent Flyer Hotels
Delta by Marriott St. John's - closest major hotel to George street, partially renovated in the past year, many rooms have harbour views, club lounge
Sheraton Hotel Newfoundland - close to Signal Hill, but a bit further from George Street; panoramic views (best for views) and has a club lounge, but the hotel is very dated and long overdue for a renovation, and elevators are slow/unreliable
Courtyard by Marriott Downtown - good location near the Sheraton, good views, but typical Courtyard spec/amenities

Hilton Garden Inn - newer hotel, located near the Delta
Several local boutique options including the Jag, Blue, or Murray Premises for those wanting something with more local character

YYT DO - July 31 to August 1
Come one come all! YYT Do coinciding with George Street Festival! Provided COVID-19 cooperates, this will be a fun time for all!
NOTE: The Do will take place on the evening of August 1. However, for those coming on Friday, a night on the town is in order.
Events TBD.
Please confirm if you are coming in the wiki!

Well this is interesting ... *technically* I am meant to be working that weekend, but I may just penalize them a weekend due to a 2 week Covid-19 cancellation - on it's own not so bad, but there was also a cancellation last Sept, so they're on thin ice. We'll see how May's booking pans out.
For now, I'm on the waitlist!

Sorry to report that my wife and I are supposed to be at pretty much the opposite end of the country in YAZ that weekend, so I almost certainly won't be able to come
