Yes! ECAC is a proud member of the International Club Association (IAC), giving our members access to a wide range of clubs and amenities worldwide. Members can enjoy over 60 golf courses, 100+ athletic and sports clubs, and venues for conferences or entertainment across key cities.

Domestic Access: ECAC membership grants access to clubs such as Hollyburn in Vancouver, Kelowna Yacht Club in Kelowna, and the Toronto Athletic Club.

International Access: Enjoy destinations like Antognolla Golf in Italy, Mallorca Country Club in Spain, and the Drivers & Business Club in Munich, Germany.

Reciprocal Club Etiquette: When visiting other clubs, please review their rules and regulations to ensure a positive experience. Each club has its own culture—some enforce dress codes, while others are more relaxed; some welcome guests under 18 on certain days, while others are adults-only. As a representative of ECAC, your respectful behavior ensures our reciprocal relationships remain strong.

Corporate Members are eligible for Equity opt-in, however the structure of this agreement has not yet been determined.

If you have purchased a Family Membership, you are welcome to add Dependents in the future. If you have purchased a Spousal or Individual Membership, you are able to upgrade your membership to a Family Membership and add Dependents then. The addition of family members after a membership upgrade could be subject to a Wait List, should a Wait List be in effect.  

While we expect Members to generally adhere to the dress code in effect, we have flexibility on what is determined to be casual wear. For instance, Members would not be prohibited from wearing golf or chino shorts on the Social Floor, however, would be prohibited from wearing gym strip while visiting the restaurant.

Yes, certain services and programs at ECAC have associated fees. Personal services, such as personal training sessions or private squash lessons, and registered programs like golf leagues or swim lessons, are subject to fees. Some fitness classes may also have additional costs.

Currently, we do not anticipate that amenities like the golf simulator will incur fees. However, we may implement a nominal booking fee (e.g., $10) to prevent overbooking and ensure optimal use of the space. Any costs associated with amenity use would be below market value.

Our programming is driven by member demand. Working closely with our Athletic Director, we create schedules based on the interests and feedback of our members. Our members participation helps us refine and expand offerings throughout the year, ensuring programs remain engaging, relevant, and enjoyable for everyone.

Our adult programming offers a variety of options to suit diverse interests and fitness levels, including:

  • Fitness Programs: Cardio, Mind/Body, and Strength classes.

  • Racquet Programming: Activities such as badminton, pickleball, and squash.

  • Golf Programming: Lessons and leagues for all skill levels.

  • Masters Swim Programming: Structured swim sessions for adults.

  • Social Programming: Engaging events and activities designed to connect members and build community.

All programs are available now, and member feedback helps us refine and expand offerings throughout the year.
