How to become a member:

1. Visit the hacklab on an open house night, talk to several members, and express your interest to join the lab. Ask a current member to nominate you for membership, and give them your email address. Your membership request will be communicated to all existing members.
2. You will be contacted by a board member to arrange payment of membership dues and to explain the rules and access controls for the Hacklab.  On your second visit, you can become a full member!

Dues:

• Member dues are $50/month (GST included), paid on the 15th of each month.
• Dues can be paid with post-dated cheques, Interac email money transfer, or PayPal.

Paypal:

Subscribing will set up a recurring monthly charge of CAD 51.75 to cover dues + PayPal fees.

You can pay via PayPal without subscribing.

You can sign up for a “friends of” plan. This is mostly for people who want to show their support, but are not interested in full membership. It costs $13.37 (CAD) per month, and gets you… our eternal gratitude!

Or you can just donate!
