Do you have a dancer that has outgrown their outfits?  Come to the Gear Sale!!

Do you have a dancer that needs a new to them Hornpipe/ Jig/ Kiltie?  Come to the Gear Sale!!

Do you have a friend that has stopped Highland Dance and wants to sell their items?  Send them to the Gear Sale!!

The Gear Sale is sponsored by the CHDA but open to everyone who has an interest in selling used costumes or buying ‘new to you’ outfits.  The Gear Sale is held before our fall competition to give dancers the chance to get outfitted before the new dance season begins.

Little tip:  Coordinate with another parent and send your costume items to the sale with them.

Are you interested in VOLUNTEERING??  Email Megan Nettleton at meg.nettleton@gmail.com  to volunteer.  Shifts worked will count towards your CHDA Volunteer Commitment!!!

**IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR CHAPERONES AND PARENTS OF DANCERS 8 AND UNDER**

If you are a parent of a dancer 8 & under -and do not have a current security clearance- we encourage you to submit your application as soon as possible. Once you have registered you will receive a referral letter to bring with you to the Police Station and apply.  If you do not receive a referral letter within 48 hours of registering please let us know at this email.

Current experience shows at LEAST a 3 week turnaround time for application approval. It will cost $15 and will be reimbursed by CHDA with the receipt at the dance weekend.

This security clearance is a new Scotdance Canada regulation and without it, your dancers 8 & under will not be able to stay overnight without you.

If you have a security clearance with another organization (must be a valid Vulnerable Sector clearance) you will be able to use it, as long as you are able to submit a copy of it to scotdancecanadariskmanagement@gmail.com

 

Please note that if you have a security clearance that was obtained via ePIC (electronic Police Information Check online system) you will NOT be able to share your approval with Scotdance Canada as they are not registered with this system. The ePic system doesn’t allow you to download or save a copy to share via email.  If you have any questions about an existing clearance you can direct your inquiries to the PICU-Police Information Check Unit at 403-428-2052.
