Fee-in-lieu of volunteer work: All adult members are expected to contribute to helping the club run by volunteering. There are a range of volunteer opportunities throughout the year that can be done onsite or at home. Those who cannot contribute time can pay a fee-in-lieu of volunteering: $60 for family memberships, $40 for couple memberships, $30 for individual memberships. Parents of athletes in the Racing Program cannot choose this option as the program need is too great. You can select this option at registration.

Included in the membership fees are $10 to Nordiq Canada and $8 to XC Ski Ontario for every individual. Our district, the National Capital Division, is the only one in Ontario that doesn’t add its own levy. Members 5 years old and under do not have these fees.

What do the fees cover? As a member, you are part of a community which provides skill development programming, coaching and official development, support for Ontario athletes internationally and domestically, financial support for student athletes, club development support, Para-Nordic programming and development, comprehensive insurance coverage including Directors and Officers insurance, and more.

Refund / Cancellation Policy: Membership fees are non-refundable.

• Learn-to-ski (LTS) program registration fees will be refunded, less a 20% administration fee, within the first 14 days of the start of the program. No refunds will apply to withdrawals on or after the 14th day. To obtain a refund, please contact registration@kanatanordic.ca
• Teen Skate program registration fees will be refunded, less a 20% administration fee, within the first 14 days of the on-snow component of the program. No refunds will apply to withdrawals on or after the 14th day. To obtain a refund, please contact registration@kanatanordic.ca

Please note:

• Kanata Nordic reserves the right to cancel any programs with insufficient registration or without volunteer leaders. In this case every effort will be made to find an equivalent program or a refund will be offered.
• Kanata Nordic programs are subject to the will of Mother Nature. We follow Nordiq Canada’s weather guidelines in terms of program cancellation. This means programs will be cancelled if conditions are unsafe or temperatures are below acceptable limits. We attempt to reschedule cancelled events but at the discretion of group leaders. The Club will attempt to give its members as much notice as possible for program changes caused by inclement weather or adverse conditions.
• In the event that program instruction days are cancelled by Kanata Nordic at the direction of Provincial or Municipal authorities in response to the COVID health emergency and classes cannot be rescheduled in the current ski season, credit will be given for a portion of the program fee towards 2022-2023 registration fees.
