2023/24 Karate BC Individual Membership Fees

by

Karate BC’s focus is to offer value to all our members.  We provide membership fees that allows us to deliver quality programs and other services, while keeping costs to the members to a minimum.  We have worked hard not to increase membership fees since 2015.

Unfortunately, with current increased costs on just about everything, including insurance rates, Karate Canada membership fees, etc., we have struggled to stay ahead of inflation.  To continue to offer value and be able to keep up with current costs, effective September 1st our new annual membership fees will be as follows:

September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2024

  • $45 – Junior Colour Belts, 15 years and under
  • $65 – Senior Colour Belts, 16 years and over
  • $80 – Black Belts, all ages

We appreciate your understanding and ongoing support, and will continue to ensure we offer true value to you.  Please refer to the list below of some, but not all, membership benefits.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Larry Feagan, Karate BC Executive Director, at ed@karatebc.org
