If you live within the boundaries of the Cowichan-Malahat-Langford Electoral District, and join the GPC, then you automatically become a member of the Cowichan-Malahat-Langford Electoral District Association (CML EDA). 

Becoming a member:

Any citizen or permanent resident of Canada, who is at least fourteen (14) or older, is eligible for membership in the Party, with full voting rights, provided the person is not a member of any other political party.  (GPC Constitution and Bylaws, see Bylaw 1.1.1)

A nominal donation (eligible for an income tax credit) is required when you sign up to become a member. Signing up for a monthly donation with your membership is the most effective way to support the GPC. Alternatively you can sign up for a one-year membership with a donation of $10 or more, or a three-year membership with a donation of $25 or more.

To become a CML member, sign up here and your donation will be directed to the local CML EDA. Alternatively, you can sign up here and your donation will go to the national GPC office. Either way, you become a member of the national GPC and the CML EDA.

Please note that it helps if you always use the same email address when communicating with the national office and the EDA.

After signing up for membership, be sure to also register a user account on the GPC website (with your own username and password) to get access to members-only pages.

You can check the status of your membership under “My Profile” after logging in to the GPC website. If you cannot remember your login or have not yet created an account, just follow the prompts.
