Registration & Travel Subsidies
What will your
institution have to pay?
Our DLI training support will
cover economy airfare to Halifax for one person from each DLI member
institution. For those within driving distance, the ground transportation costs
will be covered. Forms will be provided for reimbursement of these travel costs
at the workshop.
Fees:
Only the DLI Contact (or
alternate) can claim the travel subsidy, but there is no registration fee for
this two-day workshop. We would encourage you to involve one of your colleagues
who may assist you in delivering data services to attend. We need to ensure all
participants have workstations available for the exercises, but member
libraries can get high quality training for the low cost of accommodations and
meals for their staff through these sessions.
Travel:
The program is funded under the
DLI unit in Statistics Canada and financial guidelines used by Statistics
Canada must be followed.
Mileage:
That means, for example, that
they will pay only the federal rate.
Airfare:
Economy/excursion airfare will
be reimbursed.
Accommodation:
DLI contacts who are attending
their first training session are eligible for an accommodation subsidy. We
would particularly encourage first-timers to plan their stay so that they can
attend the dinner at the Blomidon on Thursday evening.
As well, those who must stay
over the extra evening (Saturday) to get the excursion airfare or for whom
attendance would be impossible without additional support can apply for
assistance. If this applies to you, please contact Elizabeth with your request
before February 7th.
Meals:
There will be nutrition breaks
through the day. It is anticipated, however, that dinners will be at the
expense of the participant.
Final Note:
The guidelines are not unlike many of those for universities in that
receipts must be kept and sent in with your travel claim
