The Canterbury City Community Centre Inc. has the right to refuse membership.

Members are asked to agree with the Members Rights and Responsibilities which are a set of guidelines outlining standards of acceptable behaviour for members.  It makes clear to everyone what is expected and reduces confusion and possible conflict.

Failure to abide by the rights and responsibilities will lead to the cancellation of membership from Canterbury City Community Centre.

Members have no liability to contribute to the payment of debts and liabilities of the Centre or to the costs of the winding up of the organisation except to the amount of any unpaid membership.
