How to become an OARC member
Becoming a member of the OARC is a two-step process.
- First you need to register as a website user by filling in the form on the registration page. (You only need to register as a website user ONCE. In subsequent years you only need to pay the annual fee.) This form only gathers details required to access this website. The system will send you an email confirmation.
- Once you receive the confirmation (or, if you are renewing an existing membership), send your annual membership fee via Interac e-transfer to: oarc.payment@gmail.com. Be sure to include your name and callsign (if you have one) in the e-transfer comments so we can credit you properly.
Note that if you DO NOT pay the annual fee, you are NOT a member in good standing even though you have filled in the website user registration form.
Membership fee schedule
The membership year runs from September 1 to August 31 of the subsequent year. If you join late in the year, the membership director may give you an extended membership or charge a reduced rate. Membership fees are subject to change at any time. If you have any questions about what fee (if any) you should pay, please contact the membership director at membership@oarc.net .

Send your annual membership fee via Interac e-transfer to: oarc.payment@gmail.com. Be sure to include your name and callsign (if you have one) in the e-transfer comments so we can credit you properly.
