Faith, family and brotherhood — open to practicing Catholic men, 18 and older.
Membership in the Knights of Columbus is open to practicing Catholic men in union with the Holy See who are at least 18 years old.
A practicing Catholic is one who lives up to the Commandments of God and the precepts of the Church. Recruitment in our Council draws primarily from St. Peter's, Our Lady of Victory (Gabriola Island) and St. Michael's Ukrainian parishes.
Joining online takes only a few minutes. Prefer to talk to someone first? Contact our Membership Chairman, Brother Brian King (250-591-4223).
Grow in faith alongside men who share your values, and make a real difference in your parish and community.

Eligibility for the Knights of Columbus top-ranked life insurance and financial programs.
Any Third Degree member in good standing is eligible for the Fourth Degree — there's no waiting period, and a member can join as soon as 10 minutes after his Charity, Unity and Fraternity (CUF) Exemplification. Its primary purpose is to foster the spirit of patriotism and responsible citizenship.
Certain Fourth Degree members serve as honour guards at civic and religious functions — an activity that has brought worldwide recognition to the Knights of Columbus.
The assembly for the mid-Vancouver Island region is Captain Alejandro Malaspina Assembly #34, named after the famous west-coast explorer, and includes Knights from the greater Nanaimo area.
