On the activity coupon, where requested:

Please… print your name and that of your spouse/guest (if applicable).

Sign the coupon to indicate that you have read, and understood, the waiver printed above. Each name that appears on the coupon with yours MUST also sign the coupon to indicate that they have read and understood this waiver.

Your coupon and registration for the activity is not complete without the necessary signature(s).

Some Trip Tips:

Unless indicated otherwise, all of our bus trips now depart from Kennedy Commons. The mall is located on the east side of Kennedy Road just south of the 401.

Please park near the AMC theatres. Look for a Pacific Western or Mary Morton bus.

The BIG BAND BOAT TOUR has an additional pickup at the: Milestone Christian Ministries, 610 Monarch Ave. in Ajax. (Westney & Bayly area)
Please… plan to arrive 10-15 minutes ahead of the indicated departure time. Traffic can be unpredictable, and we need to leave on time.

For reservations, please send the Program coupon with your cheque made payable to: Retired Teachers of Ontario — District 24.

Be sure you have read and understood the Waiver Agreement on page 11 AND that you (and your spouse/guest) have signed the activity coupon.

Cheques for our events are not usually deposited until the trip is confirmed. Don't be concerned when we hold your cheque.

Suggestion: Post-date your cheque to the deadline date of the activity.

If both you and the facilitator have e-mail, you may choose to have your confirmation e-mailed to you, saving you time and the cost of an envelope and postage. Check the appropriate line on the coupon. Then mail the coupon (signed if/where necessary) along with your cheque.

If you or the facilitator does not have e-mail, you must enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope. You will receive confirmation for your event: by e-mail, return envelope, or telephone when the facilitator is ready. Unless noted otherwise, our trips are "all inclusive": lunch, bus transportation, tickets (where applicable), taxes and gratuities.

Reminder
Family and friends, even if they are not RTO members, are always welcome to join you for any of our RTO trips and activities.

However, if someone is joining you, and a Waiver is required, he/she must read and understand the Provincial Waiver Agreement found on page 11 AND they must also sign the activity coupon!

For trips coming back to the city from Stratford or St. Jacob's, we will be using the 407.

Please consider going "Scent Free". Many of our members who are allergic or sensitive to scented products will appreciate being able to "breathe easily" on the bus or in the theatre.
