How to Join Our Branch

We welcome any potential new members to our organization. Membership in the Bay of Quinte Branch of the United Empire Loyalist Association of Canada is available to all descendants of Loyalists as well as those who simply have a common interest in Canadian history, especially of the Loyalist era, and support the aims and purposes of the Association.

Once you join as a MEMBER of the Branch, you become a member of the parent United Empire Loyalist Association of Canada. As a member, you will receive copies of our newsletter The Quinte Loyalist Muster, plus two yearly issues of the Loyalist Gazette. You will also be eligible to attend branch meetings and events, and take part in all business and voting at the Branch level.

$55 per year for an individual,

$70 for a family (at the same mailing address)

The membership fee is for the calendar year, but for new members joining after July 1st, the fees are halved for the first year.
