Being an Archery Canada registrant is automatic for all archers, coaches and officials when you register with your Provincial/Territorial organization. As an Archery Canada registrant, you’re part of a nationwide community that’s building skills, creating opportunities, and supporting safe, fun archery for everyone.
Within your Provincial/Territorial Archery Association fees a portion is paid to Archery Canada (up to $18 for U21 and up to $23 for 21+). Whether an individual is registered as an archer, an official or a coach or any combination of these, only one fee is collected by Archery Canada annually. This fee supports the overall Archery sport system to provide programs and services that support athletes, coaches, clubs, and officials, including competitions, training opportunities, insurance, Safe Sport initiatives, and resources that help make archery safe, accessible, and thriving nationwide.
