Membership and Registration Information
Banook
Canoe Club offers a comprehensive program of recreational and
competitive
paddling, swimming lessons, swim team and supervised recreational
activities.
Membership
is open to all individuals and families in the community. Banook Canoe
Club has
a Clubhouse with a canteen, gym ( with basketball hoops) boat bays,
docks,
rental hall( seniors room and old gym) with a full kitchen and bar. The
Club
has a large grassed area and sandy beach with wading area, floating
dock and a
playground( outside Club) . Our membership is growing, as is the
enthusiasm for
the Club and the many benefits it offers to its members.
Banook
Canoe Club is a non-profit organization. It is run by a Board of
volunteer members
who meet regularly throughout the year. A new Board of Directors is
elected
each fall. Our club depends on the work of volunteers and we welcome
you to
join in - whether by assisting with special projects and fund-raising
events or
by assisting as judges or boat drivers during regattas. Membership
participation is critical to the success of Banook. The Membership
Commitment component of our Club is designed to help us
sustain a volunteer
base and provide ways in which all members can participate in the
operation and
sustainability of our Club. Banook Canoe Club was established in 1903
(107
years) and is an integral part of the community.
When
you join Banook Canoe Club, you just don’t become a
“member” of a Club, you
become a part of the Banook “Family”.
Each member or family whether new or returning needs to complete a 2010 registration form.
For each paddler, you must
also complete a waiver.
Each
new paddler's registration
must also have a copy of a birth certificate or health card showing
proof of
age. Make sure you complete both sides of the registration form and
signed
“waiver”( for all paddlers)and
enclose payment by cheque made payable to
Banook Canoe Club. Everyone is also welcome to register in person
during
“Registration Night/Open House”( see dates posted
below) or by seeing the Club
Manager, during office hours. Payment may also be made by credit card.
