It is with great disappointment that we must pass on this sad news from the organizing team.

We will continue to plan this event for 2024 with the possibility of using an external facility if required. For those that have sent registrations and paid, the organizer (WO M.J. Richard) will refund you via e-transfer this week using the same email you provided on file. If you would prefer to have the money sent to a different email, please let him know.
