MEMBERSHIP
Chelsea Nordiq is a not-for-profit, community-based cross-country ski and biathlon club serving the Outaouais/Ottawa region. We are proud of our growing membership and the roles countless volunteers play to run our vibrant, successful organization.
Annual Membership - $115

Note: Annual membership is required to register for all programs, except for families who only have ‘Learn to Ski’ or ‘Adult Lesson’ participants. Under this circumstance a small individual membership fee is charged to cover provincial fees and insurance.
If you are interested in joining but might need some support, Chelsea Nordiq has an assistance program for qualified applicants.
