How to join or renew your membership

The same form handles new members, renewals and returning past members. It has five steps and shows your progress along the top.

Steps

  1. Click Member Dashboard, then the Renew My Membership tile (or Become a Member if you are joining for the first time).
  2. Read the Membership Pricing page and click Next.
  3. Fill in Your Contact Info and click Next.
  4. On Membership Type, choose your Membership Status, Membership Category and Membership Fee Term. Every field is required and your total is calculated as you go.
  5. Family memberships continue to Family Details to add a secondary member and any dependents.
  6. On Checkout, enter payment details and click Submit.

Notices you may see

  • Choosing Past Member Returning shows the date your membership expired and how many years are outstanding. You can continue — the Membership Director will contact you to settle the balance.
  • If your membership lapsed more than two years ago you will be asked to join as a New Member instead. There are no arrears to settle in that case.
  • If you choose New Member but your email is already on a membership, you will see “This email is already in use”. Choose Member Renewal or Past Member Returning instead.
  • Choosing the Senior category asks for your Year of Birth. You must be at least 55.

At checkout you can opt in to receive Canorient news, events and updates by email. There is a separate tick box for the secondary member on a family membership. Both are optional — you will still receive essential member communications either way.
