Annual and summer membership athletes who attend competitions are supplied with a uniform — top and bottom — and a t-shirt. A t-shirt is presented to all seasonal members.

The uniform belongs to the club and is to be worn at all club organized competitions and championships. No modifications are accepted. The athlete cleans and maintains it, and replaces any item that is damaged or lost by purchasing it from the club. Every two years the club considers replacing the competition uniform items, on their return.

Recreational membership includes coaching and technical leadership, use of training equipment at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility and the Louis Riel Dome, a seasonal pass to Terry Fox at Mooney’s Bay, access to the Dome during club training hours, and reduced entry fees to Ottawa Lions hosted events.

To compete at events beyond our home meets, or at the provincial and national championship level, athletes must upgrade to a competitive membership.
