Shares & Dues

No member will pay more than 30% of the Association's total Dues. Dues are based on the Member's size.

Members are required to subscribe (one time only) for shares of a value equal to their first year dues. Membership applications must include payment for 1 share with a $10 par value.

As per decision of the membership, dues have increased by 3% in 2011/2012 over the previous year.

A decision to decrease the dues for NEW co-ops applying for first time membership with the BCCA was made. The dues are $50 per year for the first 2 years.
