Questions about joining

Does membership cost anything?

No. Membership is free. There is one membership per adult, and children under 18 are included on a parent’s membership. Associations join free as well.

How does a household join?

Each adult joins with their own name and e-mail address, and each receives a card. Choose “A household” on the form and tell us how many adults there are. Children under 18 are included on a parent’s membership.

What happens after I join?

We confirm your membership by e-mail. Your digital member card arrives on your phone, and your association, if you belong to one, is linked to your card.

Can I join if I live outside Canada?

Yes. Canadians living abroad join the Canadian house, and the regional house where you live recognizes your card. Enter the country where you live now on the form.

What do you do with my information?

We use it to confirm your membership, to issue your card and to answer you. We send member news only if you tick the box. We never ask about immigration or residence status, and we never sell your information. Read the privacy notice.
