Important Reminder about Registration

A lot of you are confused about whether or not you have registered!? Please be aware that you are not registered for the congress unless you pay for your registration! Your registration information is not kept on file unless you pay using PayPal online or make other arrangements.

If you think you are registered but didn't keep a copy of your payment confirmation from PayPal, you can email us at congress2008@canadianchefscongress.com to have us check your payment status. Please be aware, we will not have access to the congress email after 5:00 pm EST on Friday, September 19. If you have registered and paid but don't have a record we can check at the registration desk on Sunday, September 21 at the farm.

Three days and counting

Just a reminder that the Canadian Chefs' Congress is coming fast! We'll be closing the online registration on Friday, September 19 at 5:00 pm EST. If you wish, you may still register at the farm, just remember - at the farm we cannot accept credit cards. You may pay in person with cash or cheque only. If you choose to take advantage of one of the roughly 30 remaining seats on the bus from the Palais Royale, you'll also need to bring cash or a cheque. We will have a desk for purchasing water bottles and t-shirts, etc. you will want to bring some cash for those purchases also. The closest bank machine to the farm, is approximately 1/2 an hour away by car.
