There are 3 curling options once you are in a league:
- Pay the full-playing membership fee which allows you to curl in any gender specific leagues.
- "Pay as you Play" by paying a Base Fee plus a fee for each league you curl in (exceptions noted below).
- Other categories.
The complete fee structure is shown below, including HST where applicable.

Notes
- The Base Fee does not apply to the Fifth-Player / Spare, Practice, University/College League or Social categories.
- The league fee for the Sunday University/College League applies only to members who curl exclusively in this league.
- The Fifth-Player / Spare / Practice category consists of payment of the $185 fee, with no league fees. This confers sparing privileges in leagues that the member would otherwise be entitled to join. A member in this category can curl more than 3 times for any one team in one league but is limited to 3 games per team for any other team in any league. In other words, a Fifth-Player / Spare category/Practice member can become a fifth person on one team, but not on more than one team, and not in more than one league.
- Students pay 80% of any membership fee (Category A & B Only) plus the full OCA where applicable (student I.D. required).
Capital Expenditure Assessment (CEA)
To help the Ottawa Curling Club maintain and improve its building and facilities on both sides of the glass, a CEA of $35 will be charged to all members.
Social Members
The Social membership fee is $75 (with taxes), plus CEA $35.00.
Payment of Fees
Two installment plans are available for curling memberships (except the Fifth-Player / Spare/Practice category), payable by post-dated cheques or by pre-authorized credit card payment.
With the early-payment plan, 4 payments are made June 1 through September 1; under the deferred-payment plan, 4 payments are made September 1 through December 1. The amount of each payment equals one-quarter of total fees due. A $10 carrying charge is assessed for the deferred-payment plan.
Fees are due in full (including post-dated cheques under the deferred-payment plan) by October 15, and can be paid by cheque, VISA, MasterCard, or Interac. After November 1, a late-payment penalty of $50 will be assessed. Club privileges may be suspended for any member who has not paid fees in full, or has not submitted post-dated cheques under the deferred-payment plan, by October 1st. There will be a $25 handling charge for NSF checks.
Membership Renewal/Application Form
The OCC has provided a renewal/application form that can be completed online and submitted electronically, with payment of fees by cheque, cash, debit card, credit card and on-line payment. Please ensure that the form is completed fully and the correct fees are calculated.
As well, if you wish to take advantage of either installment plan, be sure to indicate which plan and the method of payment. For post-dated cheques, calculate the amount for each cheque (first including the $10 carrying charge for the deferred-payment plan, if applicable).
