We leave it to teachers to make their own transportation arrangements, which you can submit for reimbursement after the event.

Please keep track of all travel documentation and receipts, and we will provide a form and submission instructions at the end of the event.

CIVIX will reimburse mileage, flights, trains, transit, etc., economy class only. Receipts must be provided for each expense (except mileage claims). We cannot provide reimbursement for expenses submitted without receipts. 

CIVIX will not reimburse “extras” on flights, such as seat selection, travel insurance, or checked baggage (unless your fare charges for carry-on).

We will not be reimbursing meals while travelling. CIVIX will provide a morning snack and lunch during the conference as well as food and beverages at the reception.

Immediately following the event, we will share a reimbursement form with all attendees. Invoices should be submitted to CIVIX by September 30, 2024.

Airline, train, or bus tickets and/or boarding passes (showing the cost of the trip) and any taxi or transit receipts should be submitted with your reimbursement invoice. For those driving, please submit documentation showing the distance travelled (Google Map directions or similar). Mileage will be reimbursed based on the Government of BC rate of $0.63/km.

Reimbursement will typically be issued within 4 weeks of expenses being submitted, but may take longer depending on the volume of requests we receive at once. Ensuring your reimbursement forms are completed with all required information and submitted with all receipts will help reduce delays in processing.

We typically process reimbursements on a first-come, first-served basis, but may prioritize large out-of-pocket expenses if needed. Payments are issued by cheque or e-transfer through our payment processor, Plooto.

You can indicate your accommodation preference by selecting the appropriate ticket type on the registration page, and then CIVIX will make all arrangements with the hotel.
