Common questions, answered honestly.
Is there an initiation fee?

The playing season runs May 1 to April 30. Each membership season begins May 1 of every year.
Do Squash and Badminton members really get Fitness for free?
Yes. Full Fitness Area access — including sauna and steam room — is included with Squash and Badminton memberships. No add-on, no extra fee.
Can I pay monthly instead of annually?

Are dues refundable?
No. Dues are non-refundable regardless of illness, injury, pregnancy, or vacation. Please consider this carefully before applying.

What documentation do I need?
Spouse, Senior, Youth, Family Youth, Student, and Junior categories require proof of eligibility — age, enrolment, or spousal relationship. The application form lists accepted documents.
Do you charge GST?
Yes — GST (5%) is added to all membership fees, locker rentals, and add-ons.
Is there free locker space?
Yes. The club has designated Daytime Lockers that are free for members to use — just bring your own lock and the locker is yours for the day. If you would like a dedicated locker year-round, Medium and Large locker rentals are available as add-ons.
Where is the club, and how do I get there?
We're at 4867 Ontario Street, at the corner of Ontario Street and 33rd Avenue — Queen Elizabeth Park is just west and Nat Bailey Stadium just north. Full directions and a map are on our Contact page.
Is there parking?
On-site parking is reserved for members and requires a valid VRC parking sticker displayed on your vehicle. Cars parked outside the marked spots, or without a sticker, are towed at the owner's expense. You can check live availability with the Check Free Parking button on any page.
Is there a dress code?
Yes — neat, proper sports attire for badminton, squash, or fitness, and only non-marking indoor court shoes on court (no street shoes). The full policy is in our Rules & Regulations.
Do you offer drop-in play for non-members?
No — drop-in sessions are for members and their guests only. If you'd like to try the club first, our 3-month Trial membership is the best way in. See Guest Privileges for bringing a guest.
Can I rent the club for a private event?
Yes — several spaces (including the banquet room) are available to rent, with member and non-member rates. See Space Rentals for the full list, pricing, and the booking form.
