Membership

The Royal United Services Institute is a private establishment. Membership is open to those who support the mission of the Institute, “honouring the Canadian Armed Forces and its members past and present”.

As a member, you become an Associate Member of the Regina Armoury Senior Ranks Mess, located in the Regina Armoury. RUSI Regina hosts weekly “Thank Goodness It’s Thursday” (TGIT) socials at the Mess, where members can relax and connect.

We also host a Speakers Series every other Thursday as part of our weekly TGIT meet ups, featuring experts in military history who share insights into their research, passions, publications, professional experiences, and personal family stories.

Throughout the year, the Mess holds two formal military-style dinners—the Armistice Dinner and the Victory Dinner. Members are encouraged to join in all commemorative activities. Membership also grants access to the RUSI Library, home to the province’s largest collection of non-fiction military books.

There are many ways to get involved in our projects—volunteer with archives, museum curation, research, storytelling, tech design, genealogy, and more!

Membership is $100—split evenly between RUSI dues and associate member dues. Those living over 80 km from Regina can apply for out-of-town status, waiving the associate dues, as they won’t regularly use the Mess.
