2018 IWWF World Barefoot Water Ski Championships The Hosts The Williams Family

Transcription

1 August 11-18, 2018

2 2018 IWWF World Barefoot Water Ski Championships The Hosts The Williams Family Dwight and Michele Williams are both born and raised in Lennox & Addington County. Dwight owns a fencing and construction company that has 26 employees and services the eastern Ontario region. His wife Michele works part time as a nurse in the community and spends countless hours volunteering at their daughter Katie s school. Dwight is a guy who makes dreams into reality and Michele is always right there ready to support him (once she s caught her breath again). Both are always up for a challenge, and in 2003 they took up a big one. That year (2003), the very spot where Dream Lake sits, was farmland...until Dwight and Michele Williams decided to make their vision into reality; the same dream most diehard water skiers have: a private lake! With a lot of hard work and heavy equipment, the lake was dug in 10 days and they were waterskiing in 37 days. The record fast build time and perfect site of Dream Lake drew the attention of Water Ski Magazine, who did a feature article on the lake. The lake sits on 170 acres of surrounding property to provide ample space for hosting an international event including on site camping. The Williams have fully embraced the barefoot community and have enthusiastically invited us to host our National Barefoot Championships there, time and time again. Not only do they have the experience hosting tournaments at Dream lake, but also 350+ guest social events! Dream Lake 1632 County Road 11, Selby, Ontario, Canada

10 Banking, Taxes, and Tips All major credit cards are accepted. Taxes Visitors should remember that marked prices (at stores, restaurants, hotels, etc) customarily do NOT include tax. In Canada, tax on goods and services (now referred to as harmonized sales tax), is added at the register. In Ontario the rate is 13% (multiply your item total by 1.13 to determine what your total will be). Tips In Canada tips are not included in the bill total, and therefore are added above and beyond that amount. It is customary to tip 10-20% of the pretax total (eg. at restaurants). Note, some restaurants will add an amount to the bill for large parties (typically more than 6), based on a predetermined gratuity amount further tip on top of this amount is not necessary as this replaces the usual tip. Currency Exchange Rates (as of September 20, 2017) USD CAD CNY CAD AUD CAD KWR CAD NZD CAD MXN CAD EUR CAD JPY CAD GBP CAD SAR CAD Health Certificate and Visa Entry Requirements for Canada Traveling to Canada requires some countries to obtain an Electronic Travel Authorization (eta) prior to traveling to Canada.
