Many resources are needed to organize this event and a certain percentage of the expenses related to the organization must be retained. Being a non-profit organization, the TLDG doesn’t have the resources to assume all financial risks.
Our rates don’t include transportation or extras.
With the post pandemic context, transportation for the 2023 winter edition is not offered. This means that you have to get to the different locations on your own. We let you choose your own means of travel. Please take note that public transportation only work into the cities in Gaspésie, while the TDLG mainly happens outside these cities. This is why we strongly recommend to use carpooling or to come with your personal car.

It is also possible to organize your carpooling by using a Facebook group, indicated in the Transportation section.
