Registration: Please read before completing the attached form>>

• We encourage at least 2 people to attend from each community and for individuals to join with others who are interested, as opposed to attending alone.
• In recognition of travel costs there is a reduced rate for the second or third person coming from communities outside of the Greater Victoria area. This implies that interested individuals will be aware of each other. Individuals NOT convening a group to attend will simply all pay the $200 rate. In other words, joining with others from your area is encouraged and saves you money!
• Registration will be on a first come first served basis for limited seats.
• No more than 3 people/community will be registered, but additional participants can be wait listed for vacant seats. The fourth person pays the $200 rate.
• Registration includes refreshments, lunches and materials but you must bring your own memory stick to copy the materials for your future use.
• $200/first person/community and all residents of Greater Victoria area
• $160/second & third person/community only if you are travelling from outside of the Greater Victoria area, which includes Sooke and Sidney.

Accommodation: Contact Michelle for suggestions and/or see registration form. Participants must book their own accommodation.
