TEAM meetings for sharing
Contingents make it possible for groups and individuals from across Canada to combine their knowledge and experiences to make the entire experience better. Shared resources can include group discounts, combined travel, entrance fees, etc. To do this the contingent will host monthly one hour online meetings beginning in the fall.
A summary of the meetings will be posted in the Meeting Section of this website.
