the president of the CTHF.
The CTHF will send a reminder to the provinces that have not fully completed the
requested chart. This reminder should be sent only to the provinces that have not
completed correctly the chart and to the provinces that did not send the chart.
It is important that they include the paying affiliated players and those that don’t require a
payment.

haven’t provided their payment.
