Membership

As a Military (PSP) Club, We Have Three Levels of Annual Memberships (all published Club fees include GST):

• Regular: $75
• Ordinary: $80
• Associate: $100

Additional fees for those wishing to use Club watercraft:

• Yearly fee for unlimited use of dinghies: $60 (for all categories of membership)

• Keelboat rental fees & Berthage Fees for private vessels are published on the Keelboat webpage HERE.  Keelboat Basic Cruising Course fees are HERE

One yearly Regular , Ordinary or Associate fee grants membership & all the privileges to you and your family!* Fees may be paid at the 19 Wing Fitness and Community Centre who will send-you the latest waiver form to complete and return to the Club. Note that as-of 2022, the FCC is using one standard form for all Clubs, and members can sign-up or renew with any of the Wing Clubs at the same time!

How To Pay for Your Membership:

Membership and course fees are all payable at the Fitness and Community Centre.  You can use your credit or debit card!

New for 2024: Each family member must complete our Membership Form, available HERE. Le formulaire d'adhésion est disponible ici. After the form(s) is(are) completed and saved on your computer, send them together to: [email protected]. After the Membership Officer has processed your form(s), she will send you an authorization to complete your renewal by paying the requisite fees at the Wing Fitness & Community Centre. 

PSP has given the Club permission to pre-distribute their required waivers.  Download one waiver for each family membership, complete the form (you may use e-signatures if so set-up), then print-out and manually sign if required.  Waiver is HERE.

You must bring your authorization email (either hardcopy or on your phone) and your hard-copy, signed waiver (completed for all your family members) to the FCC to renew.  They will not process your membership without it!  Be sure to advise the FCC staffer which options you are also paying-for (ie: dinghy/paddlesports)

Important Note: the online Membership Form(s) must be completed on a computer, saved as a .pdf and sent as as files to the Membership Officer.  Scans of printed-out forms can't be used, as the automatic data extraction feature of the online form is defeated by printing-out and scanning.

19 Wing Comox Yacht Club vehicle access decals will be available from the FCC upon completion of your membership process.
