Membership in Stephen Leacock Associates offers a number of benefits:

Your membership subscription fee

is paid in Canadian dollars.  There have been cases where the box in which you enter your credit card details indicates that the payment is in US dollars.  This is a problem originating with Stripe, our payment processor. Don't worry, you will actually be charged in Canadian dollars!

Why we need your email address:

Your email address is an essential piece of information that will identify you on our membership records.  It is also needed to notify you when your membership is due to be renewed.  If you opt out of receiving emails, you will not receive our newsletters or any notifications about press releases or other items of interest.  However, you will still receive renewal notifications.

What is a "Dual" membership?

Because your email address is an essential piece of information for us, if you and your spouse or partner both share an email address, and both want to become members, you should choose the "Dual" membership option.  If you have different email addresses and want to correspond with us separately, you should fill in and submit separate application forms, choosing the "Single" option on each one. 

Annual Membership Fees:

ANNUAL FEES for membership are due April 1 of each year.  Fees for new members joining part way through the year will not be pro-rated (our membership fee is low enough as it is!)  However, for new members joining in the first three months of the calendar year, your membership will be in effect until March 31 of the following year.  We prefer you to pay your fees by credit or debit card, but if you wish to pay by cheque, you will be given the opportunity to print a remittance slip after you have submitted the application. You must then mail the printed slip with your cheque (payable to Stephen Leacock Associates) to:

Membership Chair
Stephen Leacock Associates
Box 854, Orillia, ON  L3V 6K8

Your membership will be put into effect when we receive your cheque.

Problems?

If you have any problems in submitting your application, please send an email to webmaster@leacock.ca explaining the nature of the issue, and providing your telephone number.
