House Rules

The Vancouver Club’s House Rules have been established to ensure maximum enjoyment of the Club for all Members. These rules also provide a foundation to acquaint Members of the Club with available services and to protect Club property.

Members of the Club have the responsibility to know the House Rules and an obligation to observe them. In addition, Members should ensure that their guests are familiar with a number of the House Rules, particularly those regarding cell phones & electronic devices, dress code, and Club property.

House Rules may only be altered by the Board pursuant to Paragraph 16.1(b) of the Bylaws.

Changes to the House Rules and the creation of or changes to Interim Rules will be posted on the Club’s website and shall be emailed to each Member forthwith upon such change or creation being implemented.
