Membership Criteria

The membership fees play a crucial role in sustaining our activities and initiatives, enabling us to

provide valuable resources, events and opportunities for our members to meet the following

objectives:

1. Promote the identity of the Samaj right from a young age

2. Promote socialization and social uplift

3. Promote educational and cultural activities

4. Promote volunteering within our community

5. Promote mentorship

6. Promote networking for career and job opportunities

7. Promote the enjoyment of at least 4 events through entertainment and food.

To bring a positive impact and meet the above objectives, the membership fee structure was revised as of

Nov 2023, as below:

Family membership will be $200 and includes Parents (Mom/Dad) and children up to and

including the age of 22. After the age of 22, members are considered to be adults and the

single member fee or pay-per-event fee will apply (just like the Senior members). Example: Mum,

Dad and children aged between 0-22 will pay $200. Parents and Grandparents,

and family members over 22 should use the single person’s membership per person and are not

included within this $200 Family membership.

Single / Individual membership – Individuals, Grandparents, students, parents. The fee for

a single membership will be $100 per person above the age of 22 years of age. Example: Seniors or

any individual over 22 years of age. Note that there is flexibility to attend as a guest as per event

at the Guest Fees below.

The lifetime one-time registration fee will be maintained as $50 per family will continue. This will

apply to net new members and not to any single memberships that were previously part of a

family.

Guest fees: Definition of a guest is any person who is part of the family of a paid member, over

22 years of age (e.g. adult son / daughter / grandparent / or extended family like son-in-law/

daughter-in-law) or an overseas visiting adult guest (over 22) of a paid member. The cost of

attending Holi, Picnic, and Navratri per guest is $25 per event and for the Diwali event guests pay $50

per person.

New membership registration fees and newcomer’s 1st year fees: There will still be a $50

new member registration fee. Registration is required. Newcomers to Canada wanting to join will

receive the first-year attendance for free of charge followed by the annual fee for the following years. For

example: Any registered newcomer in 2023 can attend the 2023 Diwali function for free and

the 2024 membership fee is payable at the 2023 Diwali function or e-transfer before the 2024 Holi

function.
