==Minors==
 
After consultation with a lawyer, and much discussion, we've decided that, to cover our bases, we will not allow people under 18 to join. That being said, they are welcome as guests, and to public events. If their parents become members, they're welcome to come with their parents. But, the minors themselves will not be allowed to be members.
 
 
Like everybody else, minors must be familiar with the [[Safety policy]]

This is the process for new members:

  1. The applicant fills out a membership agreement and gives it to a Director at the start of a weekly meeting.
  2. The applicant is announced during the meeting and individual members have the opportunity (after the meeting) to talk to the applicant and get to know them/ask them questions/etc.
  3. The Director announces the applicant's name on the mailing list.
  4. The Director informs the Board of the name and email address of the applicant.
  5. A Director fills out a PAD (Pre-authorized debit) agreement as much as possible and emails it to the potential member.
  6. The applicant brings a void cheque and completed PAD agreement to a meeting.
  7. A Director (currently the Treasurer) drops off this paperwork at the bank.
  8. Around the end of the two-week waiting period, a Director gives a key to the applicant and records that they have a key.

We tried to make this as simple as possible without missing any vital steps. If the member chooses to pay with cash or cheque instead of a PAD, then instead of the void cheque they can bring cash.

We do not store your banking information at all. We give it to the bank, and they store it.
