This year, our time is shorter than usual and Wanuskewin has asked for a definite head count by May 16th, though final numbers can be adjusted until Thursday May 24th. I will reserve 50 positions until May 24th. Beyond that date, all unclaimed spots will be cancelled and no further orders will be taken. All orders for the vegetarian alternative also need to be in by that date.
