Originally, I was sceptical about the value of our Nordiq Canada fees. I’ve spent twenty years helping organize the club, including seeing neighbouring clubs depart Nordiq Canada then return, I have realized that $20 or so per person is a good investment.

Clubs do not pay any fees to Nordiq Canada. Instead, every club member pays $12 to Nordiq Canada,. This revenue helps Nordiq Canada support clubs and members.
