Update
We invite you to join our vibrant club!
Join us and participate in more than 20 regular activities and events! We'd love to meet you and share our adventures as newcomers to this wonderful place called Victoria. NCGV membership offers a members-only tab for all the information that only members can see, including our:
- membership roster, offering opportunities for over 280 members to maintain contact with each other and make new friendships
- monthly luncheons with guest speakers and lots of time to meet with other club members
- twice-a-month BuddyUP email news sheet, where members can suggest and join opportunities to forge new connections, e.g. a potluck lunch, a neighbourhood coffee group, a beach walk, a games night
- newsletters, and our forum site, for information, local highlights and pictures of past events
- our calendar, listing all activities and events for the day and month, so that you can easily organize your NCGV time.
Membership fee for September 1st, 2023 to August 31st, 2024 is $40.
It would be great to have you join us! However, membership is closed over the summer (from June to August 31st). Please check back in September.

Our 280+ members from across Canada and the world have access to monthly all-member luncheons and can participate in a wide range of more than 25 activities; plus, from our regular BuddyUP emails come opportunities for ad-hoc games, walks, swims, social and creative hobby gatherings.
