Travel
Hamilton is conveniently
located in the heart of Southeastern Ontario, one of Canada's most
prosperous areas. The Great Lakes and the Niagara region are within
easy drives. The flight possibilities are excellent. The McMaster
campus is a 45-minute drive from Toronto's
Pearson International Airport. Hamilton is also served by its
own international
airport.
For transportation to
and from Pearson Airport, we have negotiated special rates with
Airways Transit ($38
per person - shuttle van) and Symphony
Limousine ($95 flat rate - private car). Please be sure to mention
"MOPTA" when making your reservation. If you would like
to rent a car, there are several car
rental agencies at Pearson Airport.
