It won’t be long before hundreds of students arrive in Yorkton for the 2020 Canadian Student Leadership Conference (CSLC). Where are they going to stay when they get here? The Yorkton Regional High School is looking for billet hosts for these students from across the nation. Their Billeting Blitz March Madness is searching for homes across Yorkton that can host students from Sept. 22 to 26, 2020.
What do you need to be a host? You need the ability to host at least two billets, with an individual bed for each, though those beds can be in the same room. They need breakfast each morning and possibly a light snack before bed, as well as reliable transportation to and from the conference each day, at around 8:00 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. There is also a requirement for a shower facility and the ability to have a family night with your billet on Sept. 24. You also need to live within 25 kms of YRHS. The final requirement is that all household members over 19 have a criminal and vulnerable sector check, which will be provided at no cost to the families.
On March 12, YRHS will be hosting an event to show people about the process and get their record checks under way. That will happen on March 12, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
What about people who are interested in billeting but unable to get to the event? They want to hear from you. Call 306-786-5560 and they will help get you set up to billet.
