It's hilarious how many people think they are in the know in this thread but don't have fucking clue

If you are going to call someone out, do it by name...
Unless something changed I went through the process last year so fairly certain I have most the details right. Initiation also went up over the last year, by around $10k. Annual dues for a family of 4 are around ~$6-700/month. (Depending on the age of kids)

ZorroAMG said in 2004 that the initiation fee was 10000. The Glencoe brochure now states 55000. The old farts must not be dying off fast enough.

LOL, amen. This thread is hilarious. I am now going to think I am a member of some sort of super secret organization that is shrouded in mystery.

You is lizard person.

I dunno, the bar is set pretty high. Or low. It's all so confusing.

Probably me lol, that’s fine I can only go by what I am told by members and staff I know, so if you have a dramatically different impression of the processes I would be glad to hear them.

I’m 5 minutes down the road and I have been kicking the can back and forth about joining for a few months now and have been feeling it out from my own channels.

The waiting list is just a ploy to get revenue generation for the food services which the club tends to lose money on each year.

I know people who have been on the “list” for 15+ years, it’s a load of shit.

Is the petroleum club worth it? Seems very inexpensive for junior membership... plus access to clubs across the country

I'd be interested in the motivation for anyone joining that club in 2020. Foods okay, but, it's not like there's a shortage of restaurants downtown.

Yeah, wasn’t sure if there was more to it or not. Was more interested when I was across the street as a way to kill time before or after work to align car pool hours with the wife, cheaper than paying for parking, plus booze instead of a square of concrete, good deal!

I find the food at the pet club to be sub par but I will admit that it is a great place to show off my demos by dropping some sick beats and j turns.

Totally, but that is Calgary in a whole haha.

I would say 95% of the city is neck deep in debt.

But you should be use to it, as that is Beyond to a tee hahaha.

Tuition per year is like what $20k a year there?

You know it's pretty easy to just ask for a membership package. I got one from their golf club last year, sent a quick email and they replied within a day.

Students describe lax standards, easy high marks at private schools known as 'credit mills'

At Blyth Academy, a Thornhill, Ont., private school, she says she didn't get marks docked for spelling errors or failing to show all her work, like at her public school.

When she pulled together a major assignment the night before it was due, she says her teacher allowed her to redo parts of it and resubmit it later — without any deductions. She got a 90.

"I just kept thinking: 'Well, we're paying you, right?

Universities have raised concerns about students submitting inflated marks from these schools, spurred by pressure to get into prestigious post-secondary programs at any cost.

Totally, I have been in contact with their membership coordinator. End of the day info on moving through the tiers is pretty nebulous and I’m not interesting in the privilege of eating at their pub. So it’s a bunch of money at risk for what could be a very long process to what I actually want which is the crux of my debate. I don’t really want to join the golf course either, I’ll just golf as a guest there my 2-3 times a year with friends, I just gave up one membership because I never used it enough and no line of sight to having the free time for another.

its alot of traffic, specially on 85th, sometimes i get stuck there for half an hr just trying to get home

What surprises me nowadays is that they graduate high schoolers to go to engineering that still believe that man landed on the moon. I mean, you have to either burst that Santa bubble, or let the kid find out on his/her own merit sometime - No? I'd greatly prefer if they do the math, logic and research themselves, but still - its a little too commonplace to simply take the path laid out - even if its a lie. And if the lie is perpetuated, then its perfectly OK to be less capable than achievements done 50 years ago? In which case - laziness and ineptitude is rewarded.

I'd suggest that in general though, its in a rich persons best interest to perpetuate the lie if the lie is the norm (which is of course one of the main reasons the USA so desperately clings to its former glory). I'm pretty sure my principal back in the day was still a believer - I wonder if she is alive now to maybe admit it wasn't all straight and truthful.

Rough place and hard spot. Doesn't help that NASA "burned" all of their data, which realistically makes anyone from this generation (white or otherwise) trying to land a robot probe on the moon a difficult task. Which is also why you don't want to be in a helicopter on a bad weather day, too much faith in abilities that do not exist.

If you're planning on living in the area long term and it's a consideration at all, I would suggest registering sooner than later. I was in your shoes and regret not doing it sooner.

While you currently might not be interested in the privilege of eating at the pub, once (if?) you have children, the benefits are huge... preschool, sports lessons, childcare (!), general socializing with kids they go to school with, etc.
