Look Who's Joined the WCTA - 2026 Dues Payments Coming in Fast!
As a unified voice for the professional golf and sportsturf management industry in western Canada, the WCTA is 678 members strong as of Jan 13, 2026, up 13 members since our last report a little over a month ago.
We typically see a lot of new and returning members as conference excitement builds. Of course, there's a lot more to being a part of the WCTA but that's a pretty good start!
Welcome and thank you for your support and confidence in our association - let your friends and colleauges know there's still a ton of room in the WCTA😀.
Meanwhile, annual dues invoicing of ~700 members was completed back in November and payments are coming in fast and furiously. In fact, as of Jan 12, 63.4% of members have paid, far ahead of normal. For perspective, our record for end of the 2nd quarter (Mar 31) is 80% and it looks like we'll get there by end January! Thank-you for taking care of business, it really helps us get on with other things.

Whether you're from the golf, sportsfield, supply chain or any other turf industry sector, we would like to see your name on our new member list!
Why? Because far more can be accomplished together than by each sector working on their own. One voice, pulling the same direction, avoiding duplication, whatever the cliche, it's the most effective and sensible approach, especially when our industry is facing tough issues.
If you know someone who would benefit from a WCTA membership, ie Turf Line News, annual conference, membership roster, job postings, CEC program, etc, have them visit our member value proposition page at http://wcta-online.com/the-wcta/membership-x
