Archwood understands that some of our members held off on renewing their memberships till we are fully reopened. We understand. We will be keeping you in the loop with our new programming and reopening plans. We do rely on memberships to sustain the club financially especially when we get back to regular programing at the Archwood site. Annual memberships are just $25. For more information, call 204-416-1067 or email [email protected]

Getting Essential Feedback from Members
We will be sending our member surveys to get feedback around old and new programming ideas.
Let us know:
Whatever rocks your socks
Whatever tickles your pickle
Whatever ruffles your truffles
Whatever bakes your cakes
Whatever humps your camel
Whatever toots your horn
You get the idea…. Look for emails, snail mails and our web site in the coming months. Looking forward to seeing all of you.
