Support SALTS through Membership

Apply for or renew a SALTS membership.

SALTS could not exist without members - you collectively form the legal entity that allows us to operate as a Non-Profit Society in BC. Memberships in our Society are available to individuals, families, and companies who are passionate about our mission.

Members may vote on important matters at our AGM, including the election our Board of Directors. Members also form the legal entity that holds the Board and Executive Director accountable for good stewardship and the fulfillment of our mission. Though members receive a discount on day sail participation, it costs more to take out a membership and go on a discounted day sail than it does to just go on a day sail. This is intentional so that membership is always out of altruistic motives.

Memberships Types

Membership dues are paid each year for the calendar year and are partially (50%) tax-deductible. A tax receipt will be issued for the membership fee  less the value of the day sail discount that is available to members (whether or not the discount is used, as required by the Canada Revenue Agency). New membership fees paid before September 15 in a given year will result in a membership expiry date of Dec. 31 that same year. New membership fees paid after September 15 will result in a membership expiry date of Dec. 31 the following year.

Single  Single vote  $50 per calendar year

Family  One vote per family  $100 per calendar year

Corporate  One vote per organization  $200 per calendar year
