OFFICIALS: Active technical officials may be eligible for a complementary TNS membership. Contact the TNS Technical Chair if you think you are eligible.
Honorary: The Directors of Triathlon Nova Scotia may, at their discretion and from time to time, appoint an Honorary Member: An Honorary Member need not pay the membership fee and shall remain a member at the discretion of the Directors.
Associate/One-Day: If you only want to participate in one event, you may become an Associate Member, also called a One-Day Member. This allows you to race on one day for one event – and be covered with liability insurance. One-day memberships are usually purchased at the same time as an event entry.
Club vs TNS member: A TNS Membership is required to join a sanctioned club. Many of our members, however, are independent of any club affiliation.
