Tamarack is a charitable organization and has secured support from our sponsors to provide this training at a reduced cost to the participants. In our experience, learning opportunities are better translated into action when a committed group of learners attends together. Therefore we are offering subsidies for colleagues who enroll together.
The registration rates (in Canadian dollars) are as follows:
Your registration fee covers workshop tuition, 2 light breakfasts, 2 mid-morning snacks, 2 lunches, and 2 afternoon snacks.
*Tamarack encourages groups to register together and provides a registration fee discount for this. From time to time, Tamarack may offer additional discounts for our learning events. Individuals and groups may access a maxiumum of one discount per registration process.*

We know that you don't want to miss out on this exciting learning event, but understand that sometimes unanticipated changes can affect your plans. This is why we have a cancellation policy that allows us to refund your registration fee up to 3 weeks in advance of the workshop start date, less a $150 administration charge which we need to put towards our overhead costs. If you need to cancel within 3 weeks to the event, we are sorry that we can no longer offer refunds, but will gladly admit confirmed substitutions up to 1 week in advance of the workshop so that someone else can benefit from the training.
Tamarack's learning events are designed to provide community change leaders with theoretical knowledge and practical tools that they can apply to their work. To help reduce financial barriers, Tamarack's Be a Light Scholarships support individuals and/or groups to participate in our Learning Events.
For the Evaluation + Design workshop, priority will be given to applicants who are early career community change leaders, youth leaders or work for a small not-for-profit.
Scholarships can only be applied to the registration portion of the Learning Event. Any additional costs incurred, including travel, hotel, and incidental costs, must be covered by the individual and/or their sponsoring organization.
To apply for a scholarship, please submit your application online.
The deadline to apply for a scholarship is Friday, May 3rd. If you have any inquiries relating to scholarships, please reach out to Jack.
