ADULT EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES

Financial Information

All Adult Events and Activities (see trainings below) must be self-supporting. Should you be planning an Adult Event that involves a registration fee the following applies:

• Registration Form must be approved by the provincial Event Coordinator prior to posting on the website.

• For adult events that require a fee for participation, all registration must be processed through the provincial Event Coordinator.

• Registration Fees for adult events are by cheques made payable to Girl Guides of Canada, Ontario Council. Exception: Trefoil Guilds may run local adult events and provide registration and fee collection through the Guild

• An event name must be noted in the memo field for registration fees and Registration forms for events must accompany the cheque.

Expenses for the adult events are reimbursed through the Event Coordinator-Adult Events at Ontario Council in relation to the registration fees collected. The Responsible Guider for the adult event must contact the Event Coordinator to arrange for handling of the registration fees. Before communication can be approved for the event the volunteer planning the event will also be required to produce a sample budget indicating the event is self-supporting to the Event Coordinator.

If your event requires start-up funds for such things as space rental that will eventually be recovered through registration fees, this would also be handled through the event.coord2@guidesontario.org.
