Joining the CMTC

The CMTC is always looking for new members interested in supporting and promoting our wonderful breed. Please read below for information on how to apply for membership and details on how your application will be processed:

Application Forms:

To apply, begin by downloading the CMTC's application package.  The package includes an application form and a copy of the CMTC's Code of Ethics.  In addition to completing the application form, applicants must read and agree to abide by the provisions set out in the Code of Ethics. 

All requirements noted on the application must be satisfied before your application can be processed. Inclusion of necessary supporting documents (i.e., accompanying letter) and moneys specified on the application form is mandatory.  Applications for household memberships must include a completed application form for each applying member, though one accompanying letter is acceptable.

Note: The fee schedule contained in the Member Options section of the form are set by the CMTC Board and are therefore subject to change in future. All prices are quoted in Canadian funds.

Completed applications should be mailed to:

Application Process:

The CMTC Constitution and By-Laws describes the Membership process as follows:

1) Any person desiring membership in the Club shall submit their application, on a form approved by the Board, together with one year's fees to the Club Secretary. All provisions of the application must be satisfied including the submission of an introductory letter as described on the application. All applicants must read and agree to abide by the CMTC Code of Ethics.

2) Upon receipt of the completed application, the Secretary shall record the application and send a copy to each member of the Board for approval. The Board shall approve all applications and return them to the Secretary within 21 days. If a member of the Board does not approve an application, the reasons for withholding approval shall be attached to the application and returned to the Secretary. An affirmative vote of 2/3 of the Board is required for approval. Any unapproved application shall be discussed at a meeting of the Board. All rejected applicants shall receive a written explanation.

3) Any application duly approved by the Board shall then be published in the Club's next newsletter for general comment. Any complaint received by the Secretary from the general membership shall be duly recorded and a copy shall be forwarded to the Board for final approval. If no complaint/comment is received within 30 days of publication the application will be granted final approval.

4) The applicant shall then be informed in writing of his or her acceptance.
