I would suggest flying over a few days early to get over your jet lag if you are coming from Europe. That lets you get maximum value out of the course, plus you can get out to see a bit of the city.
The Metro (subway, whatever they call it) is cheap and fast for a trip downtown. Make sure to visit the Ontario Provincial Museum and the Art Gallery of Ontario.
You will get everything you need presented very well on the course. Show up rested and FSI shall do the rest!
