To keep the event accessible, wristbands will be free with an option to make a donation at the time of reservation. However, some EcoFair events require pre-registration and/or payment. Members of the W̱SÁNEĆ Nations are invited to attend all events free of charge. Starting in mid-September, attendees can pick up their wristbands at the Pender Islands Conservancy Nature Centre at Hope Bay.
