Toronto Branch membership is open to all referees. Most of our members live in or near the city of Toronto. To join the Toronto Branch you need to complete a membership form and submit it along with the fee to the Branch Registrar.
Getting a Membership Form is as easy by just sending us an email or simply attend one of our Branch meetings.
Associate Membership
An Associate Member is a person who has joined another Branch of the OSRA but would also like to be a member of the Toronto Branch. Many people do this to indicate their willingness to do game appointments in Toronto.
An Associate Member of the Toronto Branch has all the same rights and privileges of an ordinary member, except the right to run for an elected position.
