Accommodations
There are many and varied accommodation options available in and around the village of Haliburton. The college also maintains a list of accommodation options, both commercial and private. This information can be mailed to you upon request. Alternatively, the County of Haliburton Visitor Information Centre can also assist you and can be reached at 800-461-7677. We recommend that you inquire about cancellation policies and indicate that the school will determine feasibility of your course 2 weeks in advance of course start. In our experience, the hosts are very co-operative but it’s best to clarify and confirm such details to avoid a situation where you lose your accommodation fees in the event of course cancellation.
