Register each member/ticket to your group.(ie. register each exec member from the dog lovers clubs under "Dog Lovers Club") There is a maximum of people per table at the awards so smaller groups will likely be seated next to others (great opportunity to network, make friends and meet new people). This is in the questions section. Any questions, ask Kaitlin.

Individuals - Please note if you are a volunteer, a Sport Award finalist, GCAP, SACC/Board member or Diversity and Inclusion Award finalist then you will need to register as that group. - Register yourself as a club if you want to sit with the club instead. Any questions, ask Kaitlin.
