> This professional development opportunity is a structured and intensive 3 days. While there will be scheduled breaks, the days will be quite long and people attending are expected to attend and participate in all activities. As with the Core Training, this event is recommended for people whose physical and mental health is at a place that they can fully participate.

> 
> 
> THE WAITLIST
> A small wait-list will be generated as well in the event there are persons who decide in the end they are not able or willing to attend the training, and who provide us with the required 5 business days of notice.
> 
> 
> 
> WHO ARE THE TRAINERS?
> PAN works in an ongoing partnership with the OAN to deliver the PLDI trainings here in BC and in Ontario.  This particular training will be delivered by BC trainers Kath Webster and Marc Seguin, with assistance from trainer-in-training Dakota Descoteaux.
> 
> 
> 
> FEES AND COSTS
> There are NO FEES to take this training. PAN will reimburse, with receipts, the following:
> 
> ·         Long distance or local ground travel
> 
> ·         Air travel to and from Richmond for people outside the Lower Mainland
> 
> Travel bookings are the responsibility of the individual applicant, and/or their agency, and a reimbursement expense claim must be made following the training.
> 
> 
> 
> TRAVEL
> For people traveling from out of Vancouver and flying to the Vancouver International Airport (main terminal or the south terminal) there is a free shuttle from the airport to the hotel, and the hotel back to the airport, and therefore taxi or transit costs for this leg of the trip will not be eligible for reimbursement (i.e. we ask that you take the shuttle).
> 
> PAN recognizes that the Lower Mainland is a large geographic region and we will also make accommodations for persons in living in Mission, Abbotsford and Chilliwack.  If you have concerns about travelling to attend the training please consult with PAN staff.
> 
> 
> 
> ACCOMMODATION
> PAN will book all accommodation for the Bored? Get on Board! training. 
> 
> At this time PAN is only able to guarantee hotel accommodation for participants travelling to the training from outside of the Lower Mainland (not including Mission, Abbotsford and Chilliwack). However, PAN recognizes that the training days are long and that travelling each day can represent a barrier to participation for some people living in the Lower Mainland.  If you live in the Lower Mainland and would like to request a shared hotel room to better facilitate your participation please indicate this on your application. Please Note: Single rooms will not be available.  This is not a guarantee that a room can be provided, and due to our limited budget it will depend on the number of requests.
> 
> If you live outside of the Lower Mainland (not including Mission, Abbotsford and Chilliwack) and you wish to have a single room a charge of $75.00 per night will be levied and an invoice will be sent to you following the training.  Please note that failure to pay the invoice will result in your exclusion from future PAN sponsored events, including future Leadership training opportunities.
> 
> Hotel bookings are made at the time of the participant’s acceptance to attend the training, and at least 15 days notice prior to the check-in date is required for any changes. Any cost differences due to changes after this cut-off date will be the responsibility of the participant. 
> 
> 
> 
> MEALS
> PAN will provide the following meals:
> 
> ·         Day 1: Dinner
> 
> ·         Day 2: Breakfast, lunch and snacks
> 
> ·         Day 3: Breakfast, lunch and snacks
> 
> PAN will provide a dinner per diem for participants from outside of the Lower Mainland sponsored to stay at the training hotel.  At this time PAN is not in a position to provide per diems for participants based in the Lower Mainland.
> 
> 
> 
> CHILDCARE
> PAN will provide child care subsidies wherever possible and the need for childcare must be indicated on your application form.
> 
> 
> 
> “NO SHOW’ AND CANCELLATION POLICY
> We want to stress that at present, we only have the resources to provide this training to a very limited number of PHAs in BC and PAN is allocating finite and limited resources to make this training a reality.
> 
> PAN requires 5 business days notice of a person’s inability to attend the training, in order to contact persons on the wait list and ensure that all training spots are filled.
> 
> In the event that a person does not arrive at the training hotel at the designated meeting time on February 22nd, 23rd and 24th, or fails to provide 5 business days notice of inability to attend (i.e. by 1:00pm. on Friday February 15th), PAN will invoice the individual for 100% of their training costs including any travel charges incurred by PAN, as well as their accommodation and meal costs.  Please note that this includes people based in the Lower Mainland.
> 
> Exceptions to this are unexpected medical or health emergencies and family emergencies.
> 
> 
> 
> If after having read all of the information above, and having reviewed the Application Form, Code of Conduct and Financial Guidelines, you still have questions, please email them to leadership at pacificaidsnetwork.org. 
> 
> 
> 
> Thank you and we look forward to receiving your application.
