This list is gradually being expanded to cover the whole province and it will soon be possible to have a wonderful holiday for very little cost. To cover the hostcss' costs. the FWIO Board has set :1 $l0 per person per night donation. This will also remove any cm- barrassment about asking for accommodar tion. This list is updated yearly and is avail‘ able from your board director. Eventually i hope there will be a copy in every dislricl.
