Membership FAQs
Who can be a member?
Any adult (age 18+) who lives or works in the Glebe is eligible. Those who live or work in the area of Dows Lake or the Glebe Annex are also eligible to join.
What is the cost and term of my membership?
An annual membership, which runs from June 1 to May 31, is only $10.00 per person. There is no reduction of fees if you join mid-way through the year.
However, if you join or renew in April or May (just prior to the beginning of the new membership year), you gain a bonus month and your membership is extended through to May 31.
Why does the GCA ask for adult members’ name and email address?
We need this information so that the GCA can contact you directly about the Annual General Meeting. This is a legal requirement of the Ontario Not-for-Profit Corporations Act (ONCA). If you’ve agreed, we’ll also email regular summaries on GCA issues.
How does the GCA protect my privacy?
Information collected is exclusively for the use of the GCA and is never provided to any other organization.
What if I can’t buy online?
