• The short answer is – no. An active membership is required in order to register for our programs. 

• On the night of registration, if you call the registration line and try to register for a program without an active membership, our staff will not be able to register you for any programs, and they will not be able to support with your membership registration over the phone that evening. Our programs book up quickly so we recommend that you, or the individual(s) you’re registering for has registered for a membership in advance.

• Welcome! We’re excited that you’ve found Between Friends and that you’re interested in our programs and services.
• To register for an Individual or Family Membership, follow these steps::
  • Vist the Between Friends online member portal: https://betweenfriends.campbrainregistration.com/
  • Sign-up as a New User.
  • Keep your password in a safe place for future sign-in.
  • Choose an Individual Membership or a Family Membership.
  • Not sure which one to choose? See our FAQ about the difference between an Individual Membership vs. a Family Membership.
  • Fill out the forms about you or your member, and sign the consent forms.
  • Submit payment. You will receive an email once you’ve completed Membership registration!

• Unfortunately, we do not offer the option of sitting in on a program. Our programs run at a ratio of 1 staff to 4 participants so adding additional participants into a program, even for a day, will require more staffing to ensure that we are meeting our policy standard for safety. 

• If you have any questions about our programs or what to expect at programs, our Membership Team will be happy to share! Please reach out to them by email (info@betweenfriends.ab.ca) or call the main line during business hours at 403 269 9133.
