Renewing Members

Membership in the RACCC (for those 18 years or older) runs for twelve months from the time you join or your membership expires, whichever is later and costs $55.37 including HST.

Typically members will have received an email reminding them to renew their membership approximately one month before it expires.  But you can renew your membership at any time. To determine when your membership expired, login to the club website. Scroll to bottom of Home Page to Online Members. Click on your user ID. Click on the About tab in your profile. Scroll to bottom of your profile to see your Membership Expiry Date.

It will be especially easy to renew your membership this year. There is no longer a requirement to fill out a canoe club registration form if a previous year's one is already on file with the RA.
