For CBA members: When you signed up as a regular or associate* CCCA member, you were automatically enrolled in the CCCA Section in your province or territory. Note, regular CCCA membership enrollment takes place when you join or renew your CBA membership. Associate CCCA membership enrollment takes place at the branch level. Please complete your branch section enrolment form available through your branch website to become an associate member.

To become an associate member, you must fill out a CBA branch section enrolment form available through your branch website. Once you have signed up for either regular or associate membership, you are automatically enrolled in the CCCA Section in your province or territory.

Renewing CBA members: Those eligible for regular membership should complete the CCCA portion of the renew online application. To renew your associate membership, you must fill out the CBA branch section enrolment form available through your branch website.

*What’s the difference between regular and associate members?

Regular CCCA members are in-house counsel who are regular members of the CBA, employed by, or providing legal services to, any business enterprise, association, institution, not-for-profit organization, Crown corporation, municipal corporation, government, regulatory body or agency. Only regular members may vote at member meetings and elect the Executive Committee.

Associate members are lawyers who are regular, associate or affiliate members of the CBA, but who are not otherwise included in the definition of regular CCCA members. Through their expertise and support, associate members play a welcome and necessary role in the CCCA, and can join through the CBA branch office in their jurisdiction.
