Frequently Asked Questions
I am a student. Do I need a teacher or parent/guardian to accompany me at the festival and workshops? Yes! Please chat with your teacher and/or parent(s)/guardians about attending the festival. Students must be accompanied by a teacher sponsor/adult chaperone at the workshops and festival. The BCSFF is not responsible for students once they leave the workshop and awards gala venues.
​
I am a teacher. Can I pop into the workshops and check them out? Yes!
​
Do teachers have to pay for workshop registration? No.
​
Can I take the same workshop twice in one day? No. To allow as many people as possible to experience what we have to offer, you must select different workshops.
​
What if I don't want to select a backup option? In the event a workshop is sold out and your first option is not available, and you have not selected a backup, we will put you in the next available workshop.
​
What is included with my registration fee? If you register for the 2-day event, your registration includes 4 workshops, lunch on Friday, morning snacks both days, and entry into the Awards Gala. If you register for Friday only, your registration includes 3 workshops, lunch, morning snacks, and entry into the Awards Gala. If you register for Saturday only, your registration includes 1 workshop, a morning snack, and entry into the Awards Gala.
​
I got my workshop schedule and I am not in the same workshop as my friend! Can I change which workshop I am in so we can be in the same one? Unfortunately space is super limited. We do our best to give you your first workshop picks, but sometimes we have to put you in a different time slot of your preferred workshop to accommodate scheduling needs. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!
​
Does the BCSFF offer any accommodation discounts? Unfortunately we do not offer any discounts on accommodation. Teachers/schools are responsible for securing accommodations. Check out our accommodations page for some of the more affordable options in Vancouver.
