About the Rebate: We offer a rebate of up to $400 per room to help cover your accommodation costs in Cowichan. The rebate may only be used towards the cost of accommodations, and if your accommodations cost less than $400, you will only be reimbursed up to the total cost of your booking.
-
Booking Details: To qualify, please book directly with an accommodation property listed on the Tourism Cowichan website in the 'Stay' section. Your booking must be for a minimum of two nights and align with your selected volunteer project dates. Do not book with third-party sites like Expedia or Airbnb. If your chosen accommodation only offers booking through a third party, please reach out to us at info@tourismcowichan.com before booking.
-
Room Sharing: We can only offer one rebate per room. If you are sharing a room with another volunteer, please note that only one person can claim the rebate.
-
Eligibility: To receive the rebate, you must be eligible to work in Canada, hold a Canadian bank account, and not be a permanent resident of the Cowichan region.
-
The Deadline: To secure your spot, you must send us your accommodation booking confirmation within 72 hours of submitting this form. If we don’t receive it by then, we will need to offer your spot to another volunteer. If your chosen volunteer project is full and you opt to go on the waitlist, your 72 hour window begins when we notify you that a spot has opened up.
-
Receiving Your Rebate: We’ll send your rebate via e-transfer about 4 weeks after the event, once you’ve completed your volunteer shift and our post-visit survey.
