Fee-levy Members
Fee-levy members must be students in the faculty of Arts and Science at Concordia who have not opted out of CultivAction’s fee-levy
Fee-levy members do not pay any additional membership fees and therefore cannot be reimbursed by the Coop for membership fees
Fee-levy members otherwise enjoy all the same rights and responsibilities as user-members
For information about the governance of CultivAction and the roles/responsibilities of members, please visit our bylaws.
FAQs
I’m a student at Concordia in the faculty of Arts and Science, that already pays a fee-levy to CultivAction, do I still need to pay a membership fee?
NO! ASFA students do not need to pay an additional membership fee. There is a special membership category for ASFA fee-levy paying students, as detailed above.
What is a fee-levy anyways? A fee levy is a per-credit fee that students agree to pay, in addition to their tuition fees, to fund community organizations that serve students. CultivAction’s $0.35/credit fee levy was approved through an ASFA student referendum in Fall 2023. Each Arts and Science Student contributing just a few dollars to CultivAction every semester, provides us with an operating budget, so that we can carry out activities that benefit Concordia students and the wider community. Other well known groups that depend on student fee levies are: The People’s Potato, The CSU, Le Frigo Vert and The Hive Free Lunch, among many others
How can I pay my membership fees: You can either pay your membership fees by sending us an e-transfer of $12 to csa@cultivaction.ca ($10 member fee + $2 transition fee). Please set the password as “localfood” and write your full name in the memo line. You can also pay in cash! Find a worker-member during volunteer hours or one of our activities and pay $10 in person.
