Now, it costs ~ $7500 CAD to go to 2 district events and ~$3000 to go to district champs. The TDSB cannot pay for all of that for every team. Instead, they have very generously offered $5000 CAD for districts and $1500 for district champs for every team (up to ~$6500 CAD like before).

THANK YOU for these two posts. I was having trouble figuring out where the heck some of the numbers and concerns were originating from regarding expenses and what TDSB would pay for. In particular, that TDSB would not in fact be covering the entire initial registration (when it had sounded like they would only pay for half of it to cover 1 district event ie $2500USD).
As an outsider looking in, I might understand districts, but Ontario and Toronto are not wholly familiar.
