What is your cancellation policy and do you take a deposit?
Air Canada Labour Action
Air Canada has sent out notifications to travellers for possible strike action between the dates of September 15 and September 23, 2024. Given the airline has provided adequate notification to passengers, our cancellation policies remain the same. Should you have any questions, please email info@innatbayfortune.com.
A $255 deposit (Excluding 15% HST tax, which will be charged when you dine) will be due at booking. Please cancel as soon as possible to avoid a cancellation fee. Due to the high demand for the FireWorks Feast and a long waiting list, there will be a charge of $255 for no-shows/same-day cancellations.
