Cancellation/transfers of registration at least 10 calendar days prior to the course date will result in a full refund.

Seminar Leader Substitutions: In the event of a last minute scheduling problem, we reserve the right to substitute a fully qualified speaker who is not listed in the course description.

Meals: If you have allergies or need other special meal considerations, please let us know at the time you register, so we can make the necessary arrangements with the hotel catering staff. Unless otherwise specified, lunch, coffee and tea are provided for full-day courses. No lunch is provided for half-day courses. The Income Tax Act requires that the portion of PD fees allocated for meals be shown separately, otherwise the amount will be deemed to be $50.00, of which only 50% is deductible. For the benefit of our members who attend PD courses, the average meal cost for PD seminars will be reflected in all PD fee billings.

Fee Concessions: Members who have been granted membership fee concessions under the categories of out of the work force caring for dependent and financial hardship may be eligible for reduced PD course fees.
