Benefits of Membership

The AFTOA endeavors to help connect, develop, and support fire training officers and instructors so they may best provide training for their organization and its members.  

Through our membership services, we strive to:

  • To make available information and resources, with the goal of improving firefighter education and training province wide

  • To advocate areas of mutual interest to the fire service, particularly in the field of training

  • To act as liaison on training matters with other associations, in keeping with the best interest of the Province and the regions served

We venture to continually develop valuable resources for you and your department by creating a training community with inventive and effective communication and networking opportunities.

TYPES OF MEMBERSHIPS

 

Regular Membership ($75 for 2024)

Regular membership of the Association shall be a volunteer, paid on call, composite, or full-time organized municipal, provincial, or federal operated fire department.

One membership per organization. Unlimited training officers and instructors may be added to a regular membership, so long as the individual’s role includes providing fire service training within the organization, and they are supported by the Chief Training Officer or Fire Chief/Director. There will only be one vote per membership when voting on directional or substantial matters of the association. The primary membership contact will be considered the vote holder unless otherwise delegated.

Membership Renewal (Regular - $75 or associate - $50)

Existing members may renew by simply clicking on the “Your Account” button in the lower right corner. Click “Join new plan” and select your plan (regular or associate) in the dropdown menu. Then you will be prompted to make your payment.

If you are signing up for the first time, please click the appropriate “First-time sign-up” box above to register your information with AFTOA.

Associate Membership ($50 for 2024)

Associate membership is intended for our partners in training, such as educational institutions, industrial or private organizations, as well as individuals whose department is not registered as a regular member.

Associate members have all the same access and benefits to the association as regular members, with the exclusion of having a vote on directional or substantial matters of the association. 

TRADE Membership ($200 for 2024)

Trade membership is intended for any for-profit company or business that would receive financial gain from attending or being involved in attending training, conferences, association events, or other association activities through the sale of goods and/or services.

Trade members may choose to be listed with a link to their website on the AFTOA website. Trade members can also purchase ad space on AFOTA newsletters.
