Winter 2012 Registration Form
In the event that a registration session is cancelled, a notice will be placed on this page and members will be notified by e-mail of the new registration date.
Note on registration policy
Registration is on a ‘first-come, first-served’ basis. Those who attend a registration session have the best chance of getting into a course offered at that registration location. That means that if you attend a Sackville registration and indicate on your registration form that you wish to take an Amherst or Moncton course you will be registered into the Amherst or Moncton course only if there is still space in the course after the close of the Amherst or Moncton registration session. Mail-in registrations will be processed after the registration sessions are over and those who mail in their registration will get into their chosen course only if there is space after the registration sessions close
