The website is: www.echecsvarennes.ca

In a couple of places in the original post, the website is given incorrectly as "checkvarennes"

Wow.....this is indeed one of the best tournaments so far in terms of titled players and number of players.

I think this is what other organizers should try to learn from them.

Early notification / Clear information / Adequate information / Updated information and good prize money. I think these are all essential information what players need to see and know before they make any decision to play in the tournament.

Cheers....Good luck to the organizer and all the players

Thanks for your kind words Gary.

I'm proud to add that those 174 registered players represent eight (!) federations. Looking forward to welcome everyone, including a strong contingent from Ontario :), this Friday.
