Let's try to preserve as much as we can for future generations.

• The Association has a record number of members, over 200. Membership in the Association plays a dual role; on the one hand it gives us representation and credibility and, on the other hand, helps to ensure a reliable source of funding. Traditionally, annual membership begins in July and ends in June of the following year. You can now renew your membership by following the instructions below. We strongly recommend using Interac e-Transfer to do this. It's simple, efficient and secure, and it also makes our financial management and that of the members' files much easier. Obviously if you have already renewed your membership between last January and today, please disregard this reminder.
