What You Need To Know Before You Register
If you have a question that is not answered here or anywhere else on
this website, please email Dana Bjarnason , Conference Coordinator, at
manning@interpcan.ca <mailto:manning@interpcan.ca>.
Please read this page before you register.
Membership - You do not need to be a current Interpretation Canada
member to attend this conference. However, the conference is cheaper for
members, so if you have been considering becoming a member, this is a
really good time to do it. You can get your IC membership here
<http://www.interpcan.ca/new/index.php?module=pagemaster&PAGE_user_op=view_page&PAGE_id=22>
before you continue with registration.
Accommodation - In an effort to keep the price of the event as low as
possible —and in recognition that interpreters are generally a very
friendly bunch— participants will stay in comfortable cabins next to the
Manning Park Lodge. (Occupancy: four to six per cabin). The registration
form refers to this as "shared" accommodation. If you have a preference
for who you'd like to share your cabin with, please note this on your
registration form.
If privacy is a priority, you are welcome to upgrade to a private room
in the Lodge. Contact the Treasurer, Pam Murray, at
aishwarya108@hotmail.com <mailto:aishwarya108@hotmail.com> for more
information on this option. Additional information on the lodging can be
found at the Manning Park Lodge website <http://www.manningpark.com/>.
Food - Five meals are included in your conference fee: breakfast, lunch
and dinner on Saturday and breakfast and lunch on Sunday. Snacks and
refreshments between conference sessions will also be provided. Please
note that you will have to make your own arrangements for dinner on
Friday; the Bear's Den Lounge in the Manning Park Lodge will be open if
you choose to avail yourself of that option.
Transportation - In an effort to make it as easy as possible to get to
this event, organizers encourage those who need (or can offer)
carpooling opportunities to post their offers and requests on the
ICBC-Discuss email listserve

made after that time will be subject to a cancellation fee of an amount
equivalent to 25% of the cost of the registration package selected.
