Paying B'nai Brith Annual Membership Dues:
Your annual B’nai Brith membership allows you to participate in B’nai Brith Sports of Canada. The membership covers some of our insurance needs. You will receive from B’nai Brith Canada Foundation a qualified Canada Revenue Agency - charitable tax receipt. As such these funds are not refundable. With this membership you will be able to join all the sports and social programs offered by B’nai Brith Sports of Canada.

Please follow the directions on filling out the Membership and credit card information. This is mandatory as your registration can not be submitted without the dues payment of $75 to B’nai Brith of Canada Foundation. If you choose to hold off on payment you will be wait listed. All major Credit Cards are accepted. If you have paid during the summer months, for softball, you are not required to pay again and need to notify BBSC that payment has been submitting and provide validation. Your payment will be verified, and your registration will be put through the system. If a player has checked off they have paid when in fact they have not, please remember that they are not registered on their team. If they are not paid prior to opening day of the season the player risks not being able to play and the team may risk default.

A NEW membership registration process is in place for 2024/2025.

You will register with your TEAM as stated by your manager.
You will then go to the B’nai Brith of Canada Foundation website and make your voluntary donation.

Many of the questions are "forced fields" where if left empty you will not be able to complete the process. Please review all information prior to payment.

Individual players will register for their team when given a LINK. Payment for the membership will be processed through B'nai Brith of Canada Foundation using their website. The team fee will be submited by the Team manager to the Director to open up the process for a TEAM LISTING in your league. Divisions will be determined once registration is closed.
