Nationals Hotel information
- We have all the rooming assignments arranged and hotel rooms booked.
- See the rooming list HERE and note the following:
- Some athletes let us know in advance they are arriving Tuesday, we have booked those rooms.
- If you want to arrive earlier than the day we have you booked or stay later, please contact the hotel directly: “Let the staff at reservations know that they are booking within the same group and they can make sure those rooms are not charged on the final Karate BC bill. They will need to collect an individual credit card when they call to ensure their charges aren’t charged with the master file. The direct reservations number is 780-420-8387 or 780-420-8380.
- Refer to the rooming list HERE for the confirmation numbers for your rooms. It is sorted by arrival date, then alphabetically of the first athletes listed.
Nationals Payment deadline
- Deadline: April 18, 2019
- 76 athletes are paid
- 59 yet to pay
- If you do not pay on time, you will be removed from the registration with Karate Canada and from the BC Team. We have zero leeway with this deadline.
- Please advise if you need the payment email resent.
Nationals Schedule (Team Training, competition days)
- Unfortunately Karate Canada won’t be releasing which days each division will be running until likely a few days prior to competition. We do not get this information in advance. As soon as I receive it I will forward it to the team.
- All PSO’s are booking their team training and weigh in times on Monday, so I can inform everyone of our full team schedule next week.
See everyone next weekend! Final push to NATIONALS!
