March 31, 2022 marks the end of the current membership year and all memberships terminate. The locks on the gates will be changed on this day. The 2022 membership year begins April 1st.

Members in good standing who are in possession of a 2021 gate key will receive a new year gate key with their membership renewal for 2022. Renewal sticker and gate key will be sent by mail.

The membership form provides details regarding application submission methods and payment options.

Old year gate keys can be deposited in the box at the front door of the clubhouse once you are in receipt of your renewal sticker and new year gate key.

Go to the DOCUMENTS & FORMS TAB to download a member form.

Once their renewal is processed, club members who did not have a gate key in 2021 will need to participate in a range orientation session before a key is issued.

To further limit contact between individuals, the recent YG public health notice of January 14, 2022 now restricts participation in an organized event or class, to a maximum of 10 from two households. It is for this reason that we are again required to cancel our indoor activities for the time being.

Until further notice:

Wednesday evening range nights are cancelled,

Canadian Firearms Safety Courses will not be scheduled until the restrictions allow, and

The date for the Annual General Meeting cannot be confirmed at this time.

On Monday December 27, 2021 at 12:00 pm (noon) a Special General Meeting will be held in the clubhouse on Grey Mountain Road to pass a Special Resolution to replace the existing January 2018 Constitution and Bylaws with the revised December 2021 version. The new Societies Act and Regulations requires existing societies to transition to the new regulatory structure by March 31, 2023.

Notice to Pass Special Resolution

Whereas the Societies Act April 1, 2021, requires a pre-existing society to submit identified documents within two years after the coming into force of the Act, the following resolutions are hereby made:

1. Replace the Bylaws of The Whitehorse Rifle & Pistol Club, dated January 2018 with the newly consolidated Bylaws dated December 5, 2021, and
2. Submit to the Registrar of Societies for filing with the transition application, the following records of The Whitehorse Rifle & Pistol Club :
   • existing Constitution,
   • newly consolidated Bylaws dated December 5, 2021 as approved by Special Resolution, and
   • the statement of directors and registered office of the Society.

Club members are invited to attend a general meeting on Tuesday November 23, 2021 at 7:00PM at the clubhouse on Grey Mountain Road. To accommodate a maximum of 25 individuals with adequate spacing, the Indoor range will be used again, so bring a chair.
