The fine print! PLEASE NOTE: Ticket prices may be increasing after February 15, 2011. Purchasing your ticket prior to this date will avoid any potential rise in costs. $55 of the ticket price is to pay for the banquet itself, and includes provincial taxes and pre-paid gratuities. The number of tickets available is limited due to space/Fire Marshall regulations. We cannot guarantee that there will be tickets available to purchase ‘last minute’ at the event. Unfortunately, due to conference contract restrictions refunds will not be available within 30 days of the event. Event organizers and resort staff reserve the right to refuse admission to anyone. Disruptive behavior will result in removal from the event. Event organizers will not be held responsible for activities conducted outside of the Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa facilities.

United States residents, you NEED one to cross into Canada and then return to the U.S. They take 4 weeks to process. Passports cost $135 these days. Passport Cards are half the price or less.

Also, I've received word that Washington residents have an Enhanced Driver's License option - instead of a passport or passport card.

I am planning on attending and as I live in Ontario it would be nice to meet some of the locals responsible for this website. It will be great to finally meet Mr. Green. I sent him a letter in 1977 and he kindly responded to it - a true gentleman. Also feeling pretty funky about meeting Mr. Gimlin as well. 1967 was a long time ago.

Does anyone know if there will be representatives of the local First Nations in attendance?

Hope too see you there beside Mount Che-am.

Many thanks and Marci - Cho! to the organizers of the upcoming Sasquatch Summit being held in Harrison Hot Springs in April 2011 honoring John Green - Historian and Author of volumes concerning the Sasquatch.

The organizers are to be applauded for including the participation of local First Nation Dancers, Artists, and community members. The story of the Sasquatch originates with the indigenous populations so well that they should attend!

Looking forward to seeing you there. Greetings from two hot Sasquatch babes - Beverley and Serinna!!!!
