CFC Membership - How
Thanks in advance for joining the CFC! A CFC membership not only supports the game and sport of chess in Canada, it allows you to participate in CFC-rated tournaments.
The CFC uses a system called “JustGo” (previously called “GoMembership”) to manage CFC memberships. After joining, you will have an id & password on “JustGo” for your CFC membership.
See CFC membership types and fees.
Parents, you can set up “JustGo” for your child and pass it along when she/he is older.
How to join or renew? Select answers to the following questions to get specific instructions:
