Types of Memberships
FULL MEMBERSHIP: We offer Full Memberships for families, couples, and singles. Full membership offers you optimum access to our facilities and preferred member rates on programs and services.
TRIAL MEMBERSHIP: This one-time, one-year membership allows you to experience the benefits of Membership and the Club before you commit to a Full Membership. The entrance fees paid for Trial Membership can be applied as a credit towards Full Membership within a specific period of time.
RETURNING (ALUMNI) MEMBERSHIP: Alumni are those previous Members requesting to return as Full Members of the Club or were Junior Members under a parent Full Membership in the past. The entrance fee cost is at a 50% discount of the current Full category fees (Single, Couple or Family).
The monthly dues are the same for all types of memberships you purchase and annual activity fees may be applicable for certain sports.
INTERMEDIATE MEMBERSHIP: The young adults who are between the ages of 19 and 35 years of age, who’s parents are still current Full Members, exercise the option to become individual Full Members of the Club. The entrance fee is waived, for this one-time opportunity, and dues are discounted until the age of 36.
Application Process
The application process takes approximately one month to complete. Upon submitting a membership application, which includes a VOID cheque, a cheque for applicable initiation fees, and two proposers/references from current members, applications will be reviewed by the Membership Committee before they are approved by the Board of Directors. Please note that the Membership Committee and the Board of Directors only meet once a month, so approval is dependent on the schedule of these meetings.
