All shooting members of the Latvian Anglers & Hunters Club who wish to discharge /use any firearm at our Club's premises, Berzaine", must also be a member of the Canadian Shooting Sports Association (CSSA). This organization not only represents the rights of shooters throughout Canada but also provides liability insurance for the individual member as well as the Club as a whole. This is now mandatory, even if you only shoot once a year.
If a member of our Club currently holds a "Single" CSSA membership and wishes to have their spouse or child(ren) join in actual shooting, the member must alter his CSSA membership to "Family"...even if it is a rare occasion a family member may join them at the Club.
Those members of our Club who do not shoot, but support the Club via their membershnip fee do not require the CSSA coverage.
