Registration for Professional Development workshops and most events are now handled on-line through our website. This avoids courier delays, possible telephone mixups and gives us a way to contact all participants and an accurate log of registrations. It also ensures that we can plan to have enough materials, meals, etc. for the participants who have registered. We prefer that people do not just show up for workshops if they have not previously registered.

Submitting Your Registration

When you submit your on-line registration you will see an immediate "Thank You" screen which indicates that you have completed all the required sections of the registration. It does not necessarily mean that your registration has successfully reached us. When we receive your registration, within three* school days we will send a confirming email to the address you provided. If you do not receive such confirmation, please contact the office (admin@kpretfo.ca or extension 235). Sadly, sometimes there are roadblocks along the information highway.

Workshops are filled on a first-come first-served basis unless otherwise specified. Some workshops fill very quickly. We advise people to register as soon as possible. When events are oversubscribed, we will maintain a waiting list. We give preference to members of our own Local for workshops and social events arranged by our Local. If spaces are available after the registration deadline (or if cheques required to confirm requested spaces are not received by a deadline), then those spaces may be offered to others.

*	Why 3 Days??? Confirmations are sent as quickly as possible. However, the administative assistant's position is not full-time and other work sometimes intervenes.

Paying for Workshops

When a payment is required, all registrations are conditional upon the receipt of your cheque at the ETFO office. Please send the cheque (payable to KPR ETFO) to the ETFO office via courier immediately after you register online. When events are oversubscribed, registrations unpaid by the deadline will be allocated to those on the waiting list whose cheques have been received.  If you have sent a cheque and we are unable to fulfill your request, your cheque will be shredded.  Please do not send cash through the courier system.

 Getting in Touch

We reply to your address on the Board's First Class e-mail system. Please double check to ensure that it is the correct e-mail address and is typed correctly. We generally do not reply to home email addresses due to frequent problems with filled mailboxes (especially with Hotmail and Yahoo accounts), server errors, etc.
