Club events are restricted to members only, while Tier 3 events are open to non-club members for a fee. The administration of Tier 3 Event License involves online sanction application and data collection for future adjustments.

This is covered by the annual Nordiq Canada membership fee.
Tier 3 Event License Administration Tier 3 Event License Administration Club applies for sanction online. Will receive email receipt immediately. Sanction approval will follow one week later. If using Zone 4 for race registration, activate the Tier 3 License and Informed Consent and Assumption of Risk Agreement fields. They will be added to all race registrations and the money sent to Nordiq Canada directly. If not using Zone 4, the OC must ensure the Informed Consent and Assumption of Risk Agreement is signed by all participants, and report the number of participants and pay the fee using this online form and send a spreadsheet of participant names and contact information to info@nordiqcanada.ca within 7 days of event This is a learning year Nordiq Canada and Divisions will spot check and reach out to educate where needed Based on the data collected, the definition and fee will be adjusted for 2024-2025
