2026 Annual Conference


Memorial University at Macpherson College

This year’s conference in St. John’s, Newfoundland, has a very special room rate for those looking to travel on a budget!  We have reserved a block of rooms on the campus of Memorial University in Macpherson College.  There are two options, a one-bedroom suite (a double bed and private bathroom) and a two-bedroom suit (two private rooms with a twin bed in each and a bathroom with a shower shared between the two rooms).   Each suite is $160 CAD or $80 CAD (plus tax) per person for the two- room suites.  (The U.S. dollar value will depend on the exchange rate when you are billed.). There are a limited number of the rooms with a private bath, so book early if this is your preference!

Each floor of the building comes with a communal kitchenette, a lounge area and study room with a fitness center.  The facilities provide short-term on-site parking, bed and bath linens, and internet access. There is no housekeeping during the stay.

SHD has a dedicated booking portal that can be reached at this link:   Macpherson Room Booking


The deadline for reserving one of the rooms the university is holding for our conference is June 29.  After that you may still make a reservation if any space is available.

(NOTE: The room price at Macpherson does not include breakfast.  For a slightly higher rate you can  make a reservation that includes breakfast via https://www.booking.com/Share-18IIkc.)
