Your membership is a significant contribution to the maintenance of our trail system
and the organization of community events throughout the year.
We thank you for contributing to the health and well-being of your community!
Online Membership Form.
A membership can be for a family ($25) or an individual ($20). We ask that you provide your basic contact and location information, and ask that you acknowledge your understanding of how MTA memberships work at the Falls Reserve Conservation Area (FRCA).
Online Waiver Form.
We ask for your emergency contacts and that you virtually sign to acknowledge the fine print. The form must be completed for each individual participating in any MTA activity, including volunteering. Until further notice, each individual must sign the waiver, i.e. one waiver per person.

- An invitation to participate in all organized MTA hikes. Hikes are offered year-round by our certified hike leaders
- Free limited access to Fall Reserve Conservation Area, and discounts to FRCA permits (see below for important details)
- Voting privileges at our Annual General Meeting
- Newsletter 3 times per year
- Most importantly, you’ll be supporting an organization that actively promotes environmental awareness, outdoor recreation for fun and fitness, and community engagement.

Insider Tip!
As a charitable organization, we’re governed by our By-Laws which state that all memberships end on December 31st. However, if you purchase a membership in the last 5 months of the year, it remains active until the end of that year, AND to the end of the following year.
Purchasing a membership in the last 5 months of the year (August 1 – December 31) means that you will never be without an active membership
