Trip Schedule |
We produce Travel Bulletins twice a year, representing trips occurring within a 6-month period. In each bulletin, you will find trip details, departures/arrivals, and registration fees. A paper copy of the bulletin can be picked up in office at the Burnside Agriplex, 357 McCarthy Road during office hours. |
How to Secure Your Seat |
Those wishing to secure a seat on a S.L.A.A.A. trip must make payment at the time of booking. We will no longer accept trip registrations without payment. This will help us eliminate spots being reserved for trips that are never paid for and therefore, taking a seat from another potential passenger.

Waitlist |
When a trip is full, we will maintain a waitlist. Should a seat become available, the person next in line on the waitlist will be contacted to register and pay. Payment is not required to add your name to the waitlist. |
Payment Options |
