Many thanks for all of your help and that of all staff in looking after us so well during our recent conference on 16/17th May at the Dalhousie building. We had people from 19 Countries, many first time visitors to the City, and you did the university proud in how you enabled everything to work so smoothly. The quality of the food was fantastic and the welcome by staff of our delegates was excellent as was the audio visual support provided.

Thanks again and please pass on my huge thanks to all involved.
