PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AND STEPS FOR THOSE SIGNING UP FOR WHALE WATCHING:

• There will be a WDA attendee volunteer to serve as the leader for each boat.  Those volunteers will be in contact with attendees.
• Each attendee must sign up on the ExOrdo WDA 2025 website for the whale and wildlife watching tour (plus a guest if they have one).  There is a limit to the number able to attend this activity and we are close to the maximum, its a popular choice!
• Note that children of all ages are welcome on the vessels, however, the semi-covered boats are recommended for family use (see descriptions on the website). 
• WDA is being charged a vessel charter fee for 3 tour boats and every person (including children) on board will be charged a 6.00 CAN wildlife fee. While there is no charter fee for children 10 and under, the wildlife fee will be charged for all individuals that go on the tour.
• The WDA will send each attendee a waiver to sign and return to the charter company (Eagle Wing Tours) before the conference.
• The attendee will pay WDA for the tour after submitting the waiver, before the conference.
