Important information

  • Our membership campaign runs from April 1, 2026, to June 30!
  • Your payment made between April and June 2026 covers your membership from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027.
  • By renewing before June 30, you ensure the continuity of your rights (voting, reduced rates, access to services) without interruption.
  • You benefit from a preferential rate with each membership renewal.
  • To exercise your right to vote at the general meeting, your membership must be active at least four weeks prior to the meeting.
  • Born from the merger of CQAM and RAIQ in 2021, REPAIRE has chosen to treat each membership, including renewals, as a new application. This approach allows us to ensure and demonstrate our representativeness under the Act respecting the professional status of artists. We understand that the process for a new membership application may seem demanding, and we thank you for your understanding.
