Competitive Fees

Members interested in competing at local, regional, or national regattas must pay their competitive fees. These dues go directly to the various paddling asociations and the ORCC takes no percentage of these fees. You can purchase the respective fees on the membership page of our registration system (Amilia - SmartRec).

ORCC restructured our membership to serve members better. The new membership allows members to access any of the recreational boats (canoes, kayaks, SUPs, Surf skis) on the shoreline as much as they want during open hours.

• Individual Membership – Access to shoreline recreation boats (canoes, kayaks, SUPs, surfskis) and continued use of personal boats stored at ORCC.

• Family Membership – Same access as an Individual Membership for all family members.

• Big Boat Add On – Access to ORCC’s Dragon Boat (DB) and Outrigger Canoe (OC) programs. Independent use of OC1s and OC2s and high end surf skis (requires a skills demonstration). This must be purchased in addition to one of the two membership options.

All members have access to lifejackets, paddles, and safety equipment.

Spring - Fall:

• Monday - Friday: 17:00 - 20:30
• Saturday & Sunday: 09:30 - 14:30

Hours will reduce on weekdays in the Fall to correspond with the shorter days.

***Please note that all members must check in with dock duty staff upon arrival. Dock duty staff have the authority to restrict boat and water access in the event of dangerous river conditions. Please respect dock duty decisions.

• As part of the ORCC community, all members 11 years of age and older are requested to commit 10 hours of their time per year to the canoe club. The majority of members far exceed this quota. 
• Volunteer opportunities include helping to set-up the canoe club in the spring and put everything away in the fall, volunteering for one of our events such as the ORPC or recruitment events, facility maintenance, among many other possible tasks.
• A volunteer opt-out fee of $100 is available to those who do not plan on volunteering the required 10 hours per year.

Credit Card Policy

• ORCC offers a variety of payment methods such as e-transfer, credit card, and PayPal. However, credit card transactions cost the club thousands of dollars every year.  In an effort to keep program pricing reasonable, we ask those participants who wish to pay by credit card to ensure you also pay the credit card convenience fee to help offset the costs to the club. No convenience fee is charged for electronic transfers to treasurer@orcc.ca
