New Membership
The VSO welcomes membership applications from owners of Viszlas anywhere in the world. We also encourage those who are considering adding a Vizsla to their lives to join our club, benefitting from all of the great services our club provides.
To inquire about joining please use the contact form link or mail:
Vizsla Society of Ontario, Inc., Treasurer: Alison Watson, 2276 Bethnal Green Road, Oakville, On L6J 5J9
Members must be age 18 or older, must be eligible to be members of The Canadian Kennel Club, and must agree to comply with the Club’s Code of Ethics.
Three classes of membership exist: single member, family member, and probationary member (new applicant’s first year).
Membership dues are payable on the first day of the calendar year. The treasurer shall notify members in October of the upcoming renewal dues payable and of the amount. The board may increase the membership dues amount. Any increase in a given year is limited to twenty per cent.
If dues are not paid by March 31st, membership terminates (thereby requiring a new application and one-year probationary membership as if applying for membership for the first time).
The Club will accept an application from a new member accompanied by fees paid for the calendar year. A new applicant will be a probationary member for one full year. Until that year has elapsed the new applicant is not eligible to vote, to be a board member, or to be listed on the Club’s breeder’s list. The new applicant must agree to abide by the Constitution and By-laws and rules of The Canadian Kennel Club. The application shall be recorded in the Vizsla Voice. If no objections to the proposed new membership are brought within thirty days of publication, the applicant is accepted. If an objection is received, it shall be decided on by the board of directors. Any rejected applicant must be provided with written reasons.
Year
The Club’s Membership year is the calendar year. The fiscal year beings April 1st.
