A non-refundable deposit cheque is required with the Application forms. For Active applications, the deposit is 25% of the Total Membership Fee, or $1,000.00 (whichever is greater), including the 5% GST, calculated on the Total Membership Fee; for Affiliate applications, it is $2000.00 plus 5% GST: and for Intermediate applications is is for the amount equal to quarterly dues.
An Active Member applicant can opt to finance the balance of their initiation fee after the deposit and taxes payment over 48 months using Club’s installment payment program.
All applicants require two Member “Sponsors” who are in good standing of the Club, to sign the application form and provide written references in support of the application. Requirements of the “Sponsors” are described in a later section.
In the case of an applicant not having Member Sponsors, the applicant can provide two letters of reference from among the following: President or General Manager of an existing or recent private club membership, a business associate (supervisory), a clergy person, a professional designation such as engineer, doctor, accountant.
Before an application can be reviewed and processed, in addition to the Application and applicable Deposit cheque, it is the responsibility of the applicant to also provide a signed Application Declaration and signed Promissory Note (Active Member applicants only) to the Front Office.
The Front Office will review the application and, if complete, the applicant’s name and completed application form will be forwarded to the Club Secretary and Membership Committee. The Membership Committee shall investigate the references and statements made in an application, and check the Sponsor references as to their knowledge of the applicant, interview the applicant, consider the application and report to the Board of Directors.
