Members Portal

The Portal is an online platform built for all members of the Society in Canada. It generates comprehensive online financial and statistics reports that automatically consolidate reports for councils. The data is secured, password-protected and stored on Canadian servers.

As you may know, the Members Portal was presented to members at the ANF. The Western Region representatives attested that the portal greatly relieves the burden of the reporting process.

Feedback for the Western Region:

  • annual reports easy to complete
  • saved everyone lot of time – 50% less 
  • Consolidation work –  a 90% saving of effort
  • First time ever WRC annual report ready in Mid March for submission 

We are very excited to start the rollout process for other regions in Canada.

The National Council will provide the Project Leader online training and training materials. This Project Leader will be responsible for the rollout in your regional with the help of the Western Regional Council Project Leader and the National Council.
