Our club has over 150 members from all parts of the Fraser Valley and schedules a variety of activities including hiking, backpacking, technical climbing, cycling, kayaking, canoeing, downhill and cross country skiing and snow shoeing.

 The membership fees are $35.00 per year effective from the date of joining.  Members are advised by email when their annual membership fees are due.  Members are given three email notices and, when the membership fee is more than three months overdue, the member’s name is removed from the membership list and from the email distribution list.

A part of the membership fees is used to pay for liability insurance during club activities and for membership in the Federation of Mountain Clubs of BC.  All members are required to complete and sign an application form that is a disclosure of risk, responsibilities and waiver of liability.   

The club’s executive meets on the second last Monday of each month to take care of the club’s business and for planning purposes.   Copies of the minutes of the executive meetings are emailed to all members.

The club’s general membership meets on the last Monday of each month commencing at 7:30pm at the Mount Slesse Middle School on Tyson Road in Chilliwack not far from the old army base. Prospective members are urged to attend and will be made welcome.

The monthly activity schedule is then typed and emailed to all members.  There are many other activities that are scheduled throughout the month and these are promptly emailed to all members as well.  Therefore, if you are unable to attend the monthly meetings, you will still be kept informed of all the club’s activities providing you have email.   If you move or change your telephone number or email address, you should inform the Membership Secretary promptly

The monthly activity schedule includes the type of activity, location, degree of difficulty, the name of the activity leader and his or her phone number.  It also includes the date, time and location where the members will rendezvous, generally in Chilliwack, to car pool.   If the activity is in the USA, remember to obtain health insurance and to bring appropriate identification preferably a passport but a photo ID will currently suffice.

The activity leader can deny participation to any member who he or she considers inadequately prepared or equipped for whatever reason.  Vedder Mountain Field Supplies in Chilliwack and Valhalla Outfitters in Abbotsford periodically have special sales and discounts for club members.  Notices of these sales are sent to all members by email.

The club also produces a monthly newsletter call The Tripper.  Currently it only exists in hard copy.  If you are unable to attend the monthly meetings, copies are generally available at Vedder Mountain Supply and Valhalla Outfitters.
