Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to be a TALK member to attend the courses?

Yes, TALK is an organization run by the members. The $10 yearly membership dues pay for marketing and small gifts for the speakers. Registration fees pay for the cost of registration, mailings, etc. There is an exception for some single events where non-members may attend for a slightly higher fee.

Do I have to be a TALK member to attend a Philosophers' Café?

Philosophers’ Cafés are open to the public. You do not have to be a TALK member to attend. Pre-registration is not necessary for a Café and attendance is on a first-come, first-served basis. There is a $2 fee or donation.

May I register after the course "please register by" date?

Yes, you may register after the date. However, it is preferable to have members register earlier so that we know if we have enough people to run the course. Some courses fill up quickly so it is a good idea to register as early as you can.

Is there parking available on the campus?

Parking is available on all Kwantlen campuses. The cost is $3.25 for four hours (which is all you need for a TALK program). There is a Pay-By-Stall system in effect:

Remember your stall number.
Go to a Paystation located at main building entrances.
Key in stall number; select time; then pay. Coin plus Visa and MasterCard are accepted at all Pay-By-Stall Paystations.
Take receipt - no need to display on vehicle dash unless you leave and return to a different stall. Pass will be valid on all campuses for the day of purchase.
