Our funding from Canada Post is partially determined by how many PAID members we have and your support is important. But, even more so, we believe that $20 is a very small price to pay to be part of this fun group and have access to the programs and discounts it offers. Membership has many rewards:
- Head-of-the-line registration, at reduced cost, for our fun-filled events!
- Access to exclusive discount rates on travel, home and auto insurance from Johnson Insurance. These discounts are available only to CURRENT paid members.
- PLEASE NOTE: If you are using a membership number to obtain your insurance from Johnson but have not paid your dues, your claim could be rejected from Johnson. This discount is only available to CURRENTLY PAID MEMBERS.
- Exclusive offers for discounts on membership at Goodlife Fitness Clubs.
- Members can nominate charities for our annual donations.
- Children and grandchildren of members can apply for annual Heritage Club and Johnson Insurance post-secondary scholarships.

Tips for making payment by email money transfers:
Before you can do this, you have to first be an online user with your bank. After that, sign in to your bank’s website, and look for a word or phrase like e-transfer or email transfer or send money.
1. Click on the link, and you will be presented with a secure online form, asking for the recipient’s email address (treasurer@bytownchapter.com). Follow all the instructions to complete and submit the form.
2. Most banks will ask the sender (you) to create a password/security question* that the recipient will have to know, as well as the details of the transaction (amount to be transferred from your account). Please ensure the treasurer knows the correct/exact answer to the security question. Send the treasurer an email, with the information, to be sure.
3. After you’ve completed and submitted the online form, the recipient will get an email from the bank that the funds are waiting to be transferred.
4. The recipient will click on the link provided in the email, and follow instructions on how to complete the transaction.
*With respect to the password, if you do have to create one, it’s best not to ask for the name or place of employment, as that could be interpreted many ways (e.g. Head Office, or Canada Post, or Confederation Heights, or Building B, etc.). Our suggestion is to use something like “your first name”, which in the case of By-Town’s Treasurer would be Christiane. If you prefer to create a different password, you’ll have to send a separate email to Christiane (treasurer@bytownchapter.com) with that information.
Please note that we do not accept post-dated cheques, even if you are paying in advance for an upcoming year.
