Hotels
Accommodation Difficulties:
There are 4 other events the same weekend and those other events have overbooked the hotels. We expect many rooms to come open during mid to late March. Keep checking with the Yorkton hotels for rooms that will be released. Our YTA parents are confident the Yorkton rooms will come free after the holding deadline date for the other events.
