We are closely monitoring the ongoing labour dispute at Canada Post and remain hopeful for a quick resolution to avoid any impact on the badge shipments scheduled for early July.
If postal services are disrupted, our team will evaluate contingency measures to minimize the impact. However, if the conflict persists and delivery in time for the festival becomes unlikely, postal shipments may be cancelled due to absolute necessity. In such a case, shipping fees will be refunded to affected participants.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
