Hotel Accommodations

Deerhurst Resort - limited rooms available
The MFOA has secured a block of rooms for our exhibitors with Deerhurst Resort. Please note selection/availability is on a first-come, first-serve basis and availability is not guaranteed. Call the reservations line at 1-800-461-4393 and let them know you are part of part of the Municipal Finance Officers' Association (MFOA) group in order to qualify for the group rate. Rooms will be held until Saturday, August 17 or until it is full, whichever comes first. 

Hidden Valley Resort - NEW room block available 
To book your hotel stay at Hidden Valley Resort (only 2 minute drive from Deerhurst Resort), call the reservations line at (705)-789-2301 or email at reservations@hiddenvalleyresort.ca. Let them know you are part of the Municipal Finance Officers' Association (MFOA) group in order to qualify for the group rate. Rooms will be held until Tuesday, August 27 or until it is full, whichever comes first.

SPECIAL NOTES:
  • Please also take a look on Hidden Valley's website for room pricing as their rates fluctuate daily and you could benefit from a lower rate outside the MFOA block. MFOA's room block pricing starts at $199.
  • However, the fine print on the website has stricter reservations terms than the MFOA room block (for example, non-refundable/non-transferable, pay in full rate, whereas the MFOA rate is refundable up to 7 days prior, and only requires a deposit of 1 night stay).
  • Shuttle services will be provided to delegates who stay at Hidden Valley Resort. Schedules will be provided at a later date.

Fraud Alert
Please note in past years we have had non-accredited organizations contacting individuals regarding the MFOA Conference. These companies may offer to help book your guest rooms for our conference at a discounted rate or claim to have promotional offers such as delegate lists. MFOA is not affiliated with any of these groups. These groups are not authorized by MFOA to contact our exhibitors. Please do not provide them your personal information or credit card details. MFOA has arranged room blocks directly with Deerhurst Resort. You can book your room using the instructions provided above.


 

Prize Draws

Included with your exhibitor package is the option to participate in our delegate prize draw. Please confirm your participation and prizes to be donated (if known) by emailing training@mfoa.on.ca no later than Friday, August 23. 

  • Maximum of two prize donations per booth
  • Exhibitors will collect business cards from participating delegates
  • An MFOA staff member will visit each participating booth to draw and announce the winners during our scheduled draw times (lunch and afternoon break) on Thursday, Sept.19
  • Exact draw times will be confirmed with each booth on-site.  Please ensure a booth staff is present for your assigned delegate prize draw as MFOA draws/announces the winner


 
Health & Safety

Health & safety related practices at the MFOA Conference will be informed by provincial and local public health guidance at the time and will be subject to change.
