Website On-Line Registration Form Problems
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The various online registration and payment forms (with the exception of the Individual Membership form which is working properly) on the BC Athletics website have been temporarily suspended. They will be activated shortly once new programming requirements are dealt with.
Of particular concern are any forms submitted for the following:
- Sanction Forms
- Publication Form
- Hurdles Clinic Registration
- Kajaks International Track Meet entries
We have experienced problems from May 16th through to June 1st. Some registrations did get through but most didn't. If you are unsure please contact Sam Collier at sam.collier@bcathletics.org with details on your submission(s) and she can verify for you. You can also print out the form and re-submit it to the BC Athletics office by fax at (604) 737-3171. We will make sure you are not charged twice.
If you submitted an online entry for the Kajaks International Track Meet during this time period please resubmit your entries using the pdf copy which can be found at: www.kajaks.org/events/kajaksinternational.htm#entry
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and look forward to getting things back to normal as quickly as possible.
