About Becoming a Member

Active or Supportive? Members may choose to be supportive or active members. Active members will be contacted by REAL so we may determine their areas of interest, and suggest volunteer opportunities with REAL. Supportive members are kept informed of REAL’s activities via the newsletter and REAL notices.

Our Newsletter. Members receive five issues of our newsletter, the REAL Update, per year via Canada Post or email.

REAL Notices. Members with e-mail receive periodic notices of REAL events, volunteer opportunities, issues, or other regional events. REAL does not share our list with any other organizations.

Membership Term and Rights. Memberships are effective for the calendar year. Members are invited to renew their membership each February, and to vote at our Annual General Meeting held each June.
