The WomynSpirit Festival is organized on a community, non-profit basis. Each year we work hard, put in lots of hours of volunteer time, engage in fundraisers and invite the community to support the festival in ways that will help make it both accessible and sustainable. Registration fees have consistently been lower than the actual cost of holding the festival, and are very fair on a comparative basis, particularly given the quality of accommodations and meals at the Ecology Retreat Centre.
For the 2022 festival, we had to raise registration fees to reflect:
a) a fee increase by the Ecology Retreat Centre;
b) the actual cost of holding the festival, which has increased.
For 2023, the fees have not increased further.
We need to do more than just break even in order to:
· Sustain the festival
· Offer subsidies to promote inclusivity and diversity at the festival
· To support programming for children again in future
· To cover unanticipated expenses and respond to challenges that might arise
If you are able to donate above the cost of registration, those funds will go to supporting the festival and making it more accessible for those in need.

Please note: If registration is still out of your budget in this difficult time for many, please contact wsf.registrar@gmail.com to discuss options, including subsidies and payment plans.
Comparison – actual costs of running the festival
* In 2022, our actual cost per person to hold the festival is $452.00. The bulk of the funds go to the ERC.
Due to the current circumstances, payment would be non-refundable---in the case of cancellation, you may be able to transfer your payment to another registrant.
Payment Plan
Please note that a payment plan is available if you need it. We will also make some subsidies available for those who cannot afford to register at the full rate even with a payment plan. Please get in touch with us at wsf.registrar@gmail.com to explore options.
Folks with children:
Due to circumstances beyond our control with the Covid-19 Pandemic we are not offering a children's program this year. We hope to rebuild the children's program in the future. Youth 12+ are welcome to attend with a guardian, however there will be no special programming and we are unable to offer a reduced rate for this year's exceptional circumstances.
2022 Policies:
Refund Policy: Due to the circumstances and short time window prior to the festival, in 2022 we will be unable to offer refunds. If you are unable to attend, it is possible for you to transfer your registration to another person.
COVID Policy: The Province of Ontario has removed the mandatory masking requirement and vaccination proof requirements for most settings. We will continue to monitor and adhere to any government regulations in place at the time of the festival. As a precautionary health measure, we will be booking only one guest per room, unless registrants request to be together.
