Soon, you will get the opportunity to renew your membership online (with your credit card if you wish). Even better, you can set up your membership on an “auto-renewal” so your membership (and your range access ) never lapse. We have had many members request this over the last few years and we are finally making it happen – thanks for your patience.

When you get your invoice / renewal notice , you may note that the membership cost has increased ($25). The membership rates have not changed for several years, so some of this increase is just related with the cost of doing business. The majority of the increase, however, is related to the significant investment that will be going into our facility over the next 2 years.

We were approved for a significant City of Lethbridge investment in our facility…. but we are also sharing in the costs of these major enhancements. This investment will ensure our facility remains open and viable until our lease ends in 2036. We are also working on a relocation plan to keep our facility serving our community after 2036…. more info to follow. The complete report identifying all the great projects that City Council had to select from is located here:

There may be a few of you who are upset with the membership renewal increase. I can share that the motion to increase the membership fees was not unanimous. So, if you are unhappy , and looking for someone to blame for the membership rate increase- look in the mirror.

If you have ideas to share, input to provide, a motion to make , please start showing up to meetings.
