Membership and Fee Structure

We offer the following simple membership structure:

All of our members become Shareholders of the Co-operative: Membership is open to any resident of the Killick Coast North region who supports our values, vision, mission, and purpose. One-time payment of $10 per person will buy you a share of the co-operative (refundable upon cancellation of your membership) and allow you to fully participate in the governance of our co-operative (decision-making, voting, election to the board of directors). You will also receive ourMemberNews.In addition, shareholders need to also subscribe to one of the following subscription levels:

Social Services Subscription

$45per person

With an annual subscription fee, you will have access to all social member services as described here

Benefits for Social Members

$120per person

With an annual subscription fee, you will have access to all social and full services as described here (early adopter bonus: if you decide to join us in 2024, this payment will maintain your membership until the end of 2025).

Considering the current minimum wage in NL ($15.60 per hour), if you benefit from services of only 1 hour duration per month (e.g., a return trip to St. John’s with a volunteer driver), you would already have spent over $180 in one year; let alone if you did that trip with a taxi. We will add a more detailed table of cost savings through your membership in (y)our co-operative shortly!

Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of Killick Coast North Seniors Co-operative!

Being a member of the Co-operative has many benefits for you – making friends, being part of and enjoying a growing community, and getting the help you need to age well at home. Members also participate in and contribute to the governance and sustainability of the co-op community: members shape who we are, what we do, and how we do it. 

Becoming a member of the Co-operative means that you first get to know the co-op community so you know what you get yourself into. Vice versa, the co-op community, as represented by the Board, gets to know you so we know that your membership in the community is of benefit to you and the community. That is why a personal conversation in the comfort of your home is an important step of the membership application process. Equally important is for you to review and agree to our Co-operative’s

For 2024 the following levels of membership, fees, and payment options apply:

  • Shareholder, Social membership and Full membership 
  • Individual membership for one person; couples need to apply for two individual memberships
  • Annual membership with annual payment
  • Our membership and services will be affordable for everyone! – Subsidized memberships are available upon request

To apply for membership, please complete one membership application form for each person in your household and e-mail it to secretary@kcnseniors.coop OR call us at 709-330-0555 and we will arrange a personal visit to complete the form with you.

For more information, please contact us and we will get back to you shortly.
