Did you know our activities are supported by a membership fee? MUNPA does not receive any other funding, so all our costs are borne by our members.  If you were unaware of this, please consider becoming an active MUNPA supporter. This will help us maintain the full slate of MUNPA services currently available, many at no additional cost to members.  Details on paying the fee (currently just $2 per month) are on our website: www.mun.ca/munpa/about-us/membership-fees/
