See this URL for renewal instructions. https://eosc.ca/How-To-Renew

If you do not provide a valid renewal INVOICE or ORDER number with your Cheque/EMT, your payment will be returned.

Due to CFO inspection, ALL RANGES are closed on July 14th 2023 for the day.

There will be no one available to process any renewals starting Dec. 21st Until Jan 3rd. If you renew during this time, Please be aware the gate access system will NOT be updated until Jan 3rd.

There were several emails about this.

Reminder

All memberships expire on Nov. 30th of each year. (New members who joined after Sept. 01/22 are not affected as their membership expires Nov. 30/23)

If you have not renewed your membership by that date your electronic access card is disabled until your membership is renewed.

You will NOT be able to open the gate.

You have until Feb 28th of the next year to renew without losing your member status, but you can not use the ranges until then.

This has been the case for over a decade.

Members whose cards are deactivated but continue to use the range by walking in etc. will have their membership permanently revoked.

The Ontario Government has released new Covid Restrictions as of January 03/22.

These restrictions do not appear to affect our outdoor activities.

This may be subject to change as things develop.

We have some exciting news.

Starting this fall the club is switching over to a RFID tap-style member card that will enable you to sign in and sign out just by tapping the card at the gate.

We are having a new electronic/mechanical access gate installed. No more Combo lock after Dec 1.

This also means that we are not mailing out stickers at renewal this year. The validation stickers will no longer be used.

Everyone will be receiving a new membership card programmed for gate access. You will NOT be able to enter EOSC without your card. (Your member number will remain the same).

We are expecting to receive the new cards some time in NOV and will be sending them out to renewed members at that point.

Be sure to keep your EOSC.CA profile information up to date.

Updates to the gate log in procedure for members and guests will be updated as the system becomes operational.

EOSC activities are OUTDOORS and a Covid Passport will not be required.

We do not know yet how this will affect New Member Intro Courses.

On Saturday August 28th the club will be using multiple bays to host our annual Ladies Day with the CCFR.   

The following bays will be occupied for the entire day and not open to member use.

Range 1, Range 4-1, Range 4-2, and the Rifle Range.

We thank you for your understanding while we host this popular and important event.

Facilities are fully open to guests of members. (As per long-standing guest policies).

Distancing is still required, as are masks when 2 metre distances can not be maintained.

Members and guests residing in the same household are not required to wear masks as it pertains to supervising guests.

Guests are again permitted at the rifle range. Distance barriers will remain in place for now. Masks are required for members/guests not residing in the same household, and for all when distancing can not be maintained.
