Licensing and Membership

The cost of each CLS local chapter license is $15,000 Canadian dollars, which we offer financing for over one year. Upon signing the agreement, a deferred invoice of $15,000 will be sent, payable within the first year. Additionally, to contribute to the ongoing operational expenses managed by the head office for each chapter, a 5% fee will be levied on any government grants or funds raised by each chapter. The CLS Headquarter team is also available to provide support with government grant applications for a fee, to be determined according to the size of the grant.
