2026 Annual Review of Insolvency Law (ARIL)

Accommodation

We have reserved a block of rooms at the Westin Harbour Castle at a special group rate. Premium South Tower rooms are offered at $339 CAD per room night and are subject to applicable federal, provincial, municipal taxes and fees. Bed type is based on availability - King or 2 Queen beds.

Hotel Booking Information
Reservations can be made in the following ways:

• Online: Click here to book directly
• By Phone: Call 1-888-627-8559 and mention the group name “ARIL” or “Annual ARIL Conference Feb2026” to receive the preferred group rate.

Room Booking Deadline
The cut-off to receive the conference room rate is January 12, 2026, based on availability. After this date, the discounted rate will no longer be available, and room rates will be at the discretion of the hotel. In past years, the room block has sold out before the holidays, so we encourage you to book early.

Hotel Cancellation Policy
Guests will be able to cancel 72 hours prior to arrival to avoid a one night penalty with the hotel. As in previous years, there will be an opportunity to pick up your name badge and join us for our Opening Reception on the evening of Thursday, February 5th.
