When and how is registration confirmation sent?
Confirmation is sent via email so please enter a valid email address. If registering more than one person at a time you will need to forward the confirmation email to each delegate. If paying online with a credit card you will receive your confirmation the quickest. Confirmation will be sent immediately after you submit your credit card information.

Does my registration include a hotel reservation?
No, you will need to contact the Fairmont Tremblant to make a room reservation. NAMIC has contracted a room block for attendees at the Fairmont Tremblant. A set number of rooms are available at the group rate until May 19, 2009 or until the group block is sold out, whichever comes first. While NAMIC studies past attendance trends and the needs of our members, we cannot guarantee rooms will be available. Please plan ahead and secure your reservation as soon as possible to receive the group rate. Refer to the NAMIC group rate or utilize the Group Code: NAMI4 when making your reservation at the hotel.

What is the weather like this time of the year in Tremblant?
Tremblant's location makes for ideal summer temperatures. The resort is situated beside Lac Tremblant in the heart of the picturesque Laurentian Mountains. During the summer months, Tremblant's temperatures reach highs averaging between 68 and 77 F. Temperatures typically cool off considerably in the evening because of the resort's mountain climate. Check out the live conditions at Tremblant.

Is French the primary language in Tremblant?
While French is the primary language, both French and English are spoken in Tremblant. The majority of local residents can seamlessly switch between French and English.

Do I need a passport to travel to Canada?

• As of January 1, 2008, ALL persons, including U.S. citizens, traveling between the U.S. and Canada by land or sea (including ferries), will be required to present a valid passport or other documents as determined by the Department of Homeland Security.
• If you are traveling with children, you must carry identification, such as a birth certificate, proof of citizenship or student visa for each child under 18 years old. Divorced parents who share custody of their children should carry copies of the legal custody documents. Adults who are not parents or guardians must have written permission from the parents or guardians to accompany the children. When traveling with a group of vehicles, parents or guardians should travel in the same vehicle as the children for border crossing. Customs officers are often looking for missing children and may ask questions about the children who are traveling with you.

What is the Canadian Currency?
American money is accepted in much of Canada (especially in communities near the border). However, visitors are encouraged to change at least some of their money into Canadian funds at a bank or other financial institution in order to get the most favorable exchange rate. Traveler's checks (some are available in Canadian dollars) and major U.S. credit cards are accepted in most areas.

The units of currency in Canada are the Canadian dollar (C$) and the cent, in almost the same denominations as U.S. currency ($5, $10, $20, 1˘, 5˘, 10˘, 25˘, etc.). The $1 and $2 bill are no longer used; they have been replaced by $1 and $2 coins (known respectively as a "loonie," because of the loon that appears on the coin, and a "toonie").
