It is important to be counted. The laws are constantly changing without representation from the people they most affect, the people who live on the water. By joining, you add your voice such that we can have some say in the governance of our lifestyle.

How are membership fees and donations used?

• Research into issues and initiatives that have a direct impact on liveaboard boaters and floathome residents.

• Legal challenges to laws that have an unfair, adverse impact on liveaboards and floathomes.
• Annual expenses such as the BCNRA website, Annual General Meeting, and other organizational initiatives.

The cost to join is $20.00 per vessel for a lifetime membership. We will confirm your membership by e-mail as soon as possible. There are two ways to join.
