Costs

For students in Rotary Districts 7810 and 7820 the registration cost for the Cross Canada Tour is $2700 Canadian.

As well there is a $175 fee (which is paid by your host club in Canada). That fee ($175) supports the costs associated with organizing the tour and the cost related to the chaperones who travel.

In addition students will need to budget $300 – 400 for meals not provided by the tour in the registration fee and incidentals and shopping.  

All cheques or money orders should be payable to Rotary Cross Canada Tour

Note: For students hosted outside Rotary Districts 7810 and 7820, the registration cost is $2750 plus the host club fee of $175. The higher costs ($50) reflect the additional efforts organizing student travel at the start of the trip and costs associated with students arriving the day before the tour begins. Students from Ontario and the west typically must arrive in Moncton a day early.

Penalties for Dropping Out

Each year one or two students either drop out of the trip or are removed from the tour because of behaviour issues. If that is the case, the following penalties will be charged against monies paid.

Dropped before December 1st

$100 penalty.

Dropped before February 1st

$250.00 penalty plus any direct costs which are not recoverable. i.e. Air tickets, Theatre tickets, stampede tickets or prepaid hostel beds for which there may be a cancellation charge. Full Refund to Rotary Club.

Dropped before March 15th

$500.00 penalty plus direct costs as above. 50% Refund to Rotary Club.

Dropped before April 30th

$750.00 penalty plus direct costs as above. 50% refund to Rotary Club.

Dropped after May 1st

No Refund except for easily recoverable direct costs. i.e. meal allowances.

Students dropping out of the tour (or being withdrawn for behaviour reasons) create a great deal of additional work for the volunteer organizers. By late April/early May the entire tour is “prepaid”, with the exception of meal funds disbursements which will be refunded to the students.
