The Valcartier Recreational Shooting Club (VRSC) is a non-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors. This board administers the club on behalf of the members. Each year, you will be invited to the Annual General Meeting where important issues concerning the club are communicated and voted upon. This is also the time to express your views on matters that concern you in relation to the club.

The 2025 date for the Annual General Meeting of the Valcartier Recreational Shooting Club will be confirmed shortly.
