Travel & Travel Fees
If we are able to provide a bus from Saskatoon to Regina and back, we will use a cost recovery model to pay for the bus. This means, the more people on the bus, the lower the bus fee will be. We are not able to offer subsidies for the bus fee. We will confirm the bus cost after registration closes. This means the bus fee will not be due until November 20. We will not run the bus unless a minimum number of debaters is met.
