The Kootenay Herb Gathering Work Trade program is designed to offer folks a way to engage with the conference for a reduced ticket price in exchange for their assistance with various gathering related tasks. 

Work Trade Applicants are required to complete 10 hours of work trade in their designated assignment between Wednesday June 25 to Monday June 30 in exchange for a ticket price of $147.

It is mandatory that Work Trader Applicants be available during the hours of the conference (Friday June 27-Sunday June 29) as most of the tasks take place during this time period.  Set-up tasks will be completed on Wednesday June 25 and Thursday June 26 before the conference opens, and take down tasks will be completed on Sunday June 29 and Monday June 30.

The process for the Work Trade Program is as follows:

1. Work Trader fills out application form on this page.
2. The Gathering Committee responds to applications  via e-mail.
3. If the application is successful, the Work Trader will be provided with a link to register for the Work Trade Pass. The Work Trader must buy a pass to be confirmed to the program.
4. Once the Work Trader has bought a pass, they will be assigned shifts in a designated area based on their preferences.
4. We meet via Zoom prior to the Gathering to go through duties, expectations & shifts.
