Program Timeline

In early November, at the national board meeting of CISV Canada, we find out which programs CISV Ottawa can offer.

There is a Program Application Day  in  mid-November which is an opportunity to learn more about the organization.

Register online for membership applications/renewals.

Selection Weekend in mid-January is a chance for youth to learn what CISV is all about and for the organization to get to know them.

Candidates are then selected & telephoned with the news the following week to let them know. The Program Fee deposit must be paid right away. They then get to meet their leader & the other youth in their delegation at the First Delegation Meeting in late February.

The chapter gathers for Silly Chili, a potluck dinner run by our Junior Branch (JB), is where the traveling delegations introduce themselves by performing skits.

The delegations then meet regularly (say monthly) at times that suit the families involved until they are ready to leave. This allows the youth to really get to know each other & their leader, so they feel comfortable going away together.

Program delegates are expected to attend the CISV Ottawa Spring Camp in May to further their CISV experience and bond in an away-from-home setting with their delegation. Seminar Campers are expected to require training - contact the Seminar Camp Coordinator for more details.

Program delegates and (if <21 yrs), custodial parents (all with government-issued photo identification) are expected to attend the CISV Ottawa notary signing and annual general meeting in June. If delegates can not attend the notary signing, they are responsible for getting the papers notarized on their own at their own cost.
