Membership

Membership Information

Membership in our organization is open to anyone interested. As declared in the United Nations Association in Canada’s official brochure, there is no set membership fee. However, because UNA-Canada relies on membership donations to continue its important work, we encourage members to give as generously as they can.

We want all interested Canadians to become members, regardless of financial situation. We suggest a minimum donation of $25 for new members and $15 for students. Those who can afford more, please help by giving more. If you cannot afford to donate the full amount, please give what you can. Tax receipts will be issued for all donations of $10 and up. Membership automatically entitles members to the benefits of their local branch. In Edmonton, we will keep you updated and informed as to what we do and aim to do and how you may be involved if you choose to be.

Benefits of Membership

Some of the benefits of membership include:

  • Members are invited to participate (and vote) as part of the Edmonton Branch.
  • Members may ask to be included in a periodic e-newsleter from the National Office.
  • Members are invited to attend and participate in Annual General Meetings at both the national and local levels.
  • Members are encouraged to become active volunteers within UNA-Canada.
