We look forward to welcoming you to these auspicious celebrations.
We would like to draw your attention to a couple of important matters in this regard.
Infinity Convention Centre will be enforcing a mandatory vaccination policy. Their staff will be on hand at the entrance to request all attendees 12 years old and above to provide proof of having
received two shots of any Canada approved vaccines before they are allowed to enter the premises. This policy will be enforced by them without exception so please carry proof of vaccination.
Since this year there will be no cooking onsite due to COVID restrictions and Infinity Centre regulations, Deshantari will arrange catering for all meals during the Pujas. In order for us to have as accurate a count of the number of meals we will require, we would ask all attendees to respond to the attached RSVP request and send it to us latest by Monday, October 11.
