Membership Drive Continues

The Champlain Park Community Association is continuing its annual membership drive, with some important changes.

Instead of a door-to-door campaign, residents are asked to pay the $20 fee via e-transfer and we’ve added a cheque drop-off payment option (see below).

We have about a quarter of the neighbourhood’s households joined so far, which is a great start. We would like to add more members to our list.

So, how do I join?

  1. You can e-transfer the $20 annual fee to: financescpca@gmail.com with the contact name Champlain Park Community Association. Include your name and street address in the Message area. Autodeposit is enabled; if you don’t get that message please delete and re-enter the contact.
  2. You can drop off a cheque payable to Champlain Park Community Association in the mailbox at 183 Carleton or 251 Keyworth (in an envelope marked Membership). Please make sure your name and address is on the cheque.
  3. In addition, use this link or the handy QR code to sign up to provide contact information for each person in your household joining the CPCA. (Note: Please fill out contact information for each voting member of your household, but we only request one e-transfer of $20 for your address). This step serves as the data collection/update function as we have no canvassers this year, so it’s important!

  4. If you need help becoming a member, please contact the Membership Coordinator at financescpca@gmail.com.

What does the association do? It works hard on many fronts to enhance and protect our community, under the guidance of an elected board of directors. (All volunteers!)

How will your $20 be used? To support CPCA activities, such as:

  • Coordinating events like theatre and yoga in the park, star gazing, Winter Carnival, an online chess tournament and contests with prizes.
  • Coordinating the rink, and fieldhouse activities.
  • Enhancing our natural green space (ski trails, pollinator garden, tree plantings).
  • Keeping us secure through Neighbourhood Watch.
  • Presenting on planning and zoning issues.
  • Supporting our community’s concerns at City Hall.
  • Working with other communities on shared issues.
  • Keeping you informed through a website https://champlainpark.org/, Twitter @ChamplainPark and delivery of the Champlain Speaker newsletter.

Membership also allows you to vote for CPCA representatives at the Annual General Meeting.

One thought on “Membership Drive Continues”

  1. And there are more tangible benefits, like getting a new snow blower for the rink crew. As well as organizing projects, helping with insurance and paperwork so that volunteers can concentrate on the work. Lots of stuff!
