Benefits of membership
As a paid-up member of Comox Valley Nature you can participate in club activities and join any of the interest groups for no additional fee. Some special activities such as major conferences may require additional fees. CVN members are also automatically registered as members of BC Nature.
All communications from CVN (notices to members and newsletters) and from BC Nature (eNews and BC Nature magazine) are by email. For a $5 fee in addition to the membership fee, to help cover mailing costs, you can receive the printed version of BC Nature magazine.
Membership information and waiver
NOTE: Both new members and renewing members need to provide their contact information and affirm the Informed Consent and Assumption of Risk Agreement (the “waiver”) each year. These two steps are included in each of the ways to join or renew below.
Membership fee
Annual household membership: $30.00
(for one or two adults plus any children age 18 and under, all in one household)
Day membership: $5.00

Annual memberships run for the calendar year. The day membership fee covers our payment to BC Nature for liability insurance.
