Transportation
Provincial and territorial transportation is organized by each team. National transportation to the host city is organized by the FJCF. Depending on your location, teams could be transported by plane, bus or train. Schedules will be known closer to the Games.
Food
All meals and snacks are provided by the Organizing Committee.
Most meals will be served at cafeterias at the main venue or at the school where teams are staying.
If there are any allergies to mention, please do so on your registration form and inform your team.
The Organizing Committee will try to accommodate all restrictions and offer a diverse menu.
Accommodation
Participants and coaches/chaperones will sleep in school classrooms.
There are dorms for girls and dorms for boys. Adults classroom are close by. The whole team sleeps in the same school.
Team members are generally grouped by discipline: basketball and badminton girls together for example.
A schedule for showers will be suggested to teams. Some disciplines will use the school shower, while others will use the competition venue showers. Schedules will have to be respected.
