CLUB ORGANIZATION

Norwesters Track and Field Club is a non-profit society registered under the Societies Act (B.C.). The Club is affiliated with the B.C. Amateur Athletics Association (B.C.A.A.A.) the Provincial Governing body for Track and Field, and Athletics Canada. It has been a major track and field organization since 1960. The Club is governed by a Board of Directors of not more than sixteen elected by the Club membership. It has its own constitution.

The Club is intended to serve athletes of all ages training in track and field, cross country and road racing. The full athletic membership fee is based on the calendar year and includes membership in B.C. Athletics. Athletes nineteen years and older and parents or guardians of younger athletes are voting members of the Club. Membership is also available to officials, coaches and other supporters. Membership includes insurance and the usual rights and privileges of membership. Special seasonal, and short term memberships are available for specific programs run by the club.

Athletes will be accepted into the Club if they turn six years of age during the current year. While a member of NorWesters Track and Field Club, an athlete will abide by the policies and procedures applicable to membership as governed by B.C. Athletics. Full time training with another club for any reason must be approved by the coaching committee. This would normally only occur when NorWesters does not have a specialized coach in the athlete’s event.
