DISCOUNTS
We recognize that many groups of people face disproportionate and systemic barriers to participation in the conservation sector. To partially address barriers faced by underrepresented groups to participate in our course, including BIPOC, LGBTQ2IA+, and students, we are offering four (4) half price registrations ($625+HST) to individuals from these communities. We are actively looking into ways to further reduce barriers for underrepresented groups in future years. Applicants interested in taking advantage of this initiative are welcome to self-identify within the registration form, as part of any of the following groups: BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and/or students. You are not required to specify to which group you belong. To ensure a fair selection process, all eligible applications received during the period of January 15, 2026 to February 12, 2025 will be entered into a draw, and four individuals will be randomly chosen to receive the discounted course price. The four randomly selected individuals will be notified on February 13, 2026. If you are not selected, you will have the option to proceed with the course at the regular price, if you are still interested. In that case, your spot in the course will be reserved until February 22, 2026. If we do not receive confirmation by February 23, 2026, we will open your spot to the waitlist.
