CKA Membership

2026 - CKA Membership transition to calendar year

As we head into 2026, the Canadian Kettlebell Alliance (CKA) is streamlining its membership structure. Starting January 1, 2026, a CKA membership will be valid from January 1 to December 31 of the respective calendar year.

A current member with a membership expiry in 2026, the CKA is asking for a one-time supplement to carry through until December 31, 2026. This is calculated at $4/month, from month after expiry until December 31. For example: March 1 expiry date. April to December = 9 months. 9 x $4 = $36. Current members should have received an email with thier expiry date and supplement calculation. Contact us if you have any questions.

The annual fee will continue to be $50, and 2027 memberships will be due on January 1, 2027.

For New or Expired Members, the annual fee is $50 if purchased in January or February. Beginning March 1, the membership is prorated, depending on remaining months. A new or expired member starting Mar 1 will pay $5 per complete remaining month, e.g. Apr to Dec, 9 months x 5 = $45.

To help grow our sport and cover associated costs, a $50 annual fee was implemented in 2023

The fee is recommended for all lifters attending a CKA event that want to support the organization’s growth, however, it is only required for those attempting to qualify for Team Canada.

These fees serve to cover some of the annual expenses for the Canadian Kettlebell Alliance including:

IKMF annual representative fee 120 €
IUKL annual representative fee 250 €
WKSF annual representative fee 150 €
Website domain and hosting fees annually $225
Legal fees for filing annual resolutions $300
Legal fees for trademarks (in progress) $1000
