It is easy to become a member in the Agricultural Society.

Any individual can become a member who is interested in the objectives of the Society, over eighteen (18) years of age, and a resident of the province of Alberta. Membership fee in the Olds Agricultural Society is $10.00 per year (Canadian funds), paid before commencement of the Annual General Meeting in December of each year.

NEW FOR 2009! - In a joint venture with participating merchants your membership will include a value pack of savings! Check out the details here.

The membership fee entitles the individual to the full privileges and responsibilities of membership, including the right to be elected to office and vote in the election for the Board of Directors.

From time to time, the Board of Directors may elect to honour a long standing member with exemplary service to the Society with the title Honourary Lifetime Member. These are volunteers who have exhibited continued dedication, made a significant contribution, and offered a personal commitment to the Society.
