Thank you for your interest in the Canadian Clan Hunter Association. The Association was formed to foster communication and fellowship among the Hunters of the world and to preserve our Heritage both tangible and intangible. The tangible portion being the preservation of Hunterston Castle and grounds in Ayrshire, Scotland. The interior of the castle has been restored and is being maintained as a Clan Hunter Resource Centre. Much of our finances go toward this end. Hunters and guests are always welcome there, but it is necessary to call ahead to ensure someone will be there to greet you, (Tours may be arranged by visiting the Clan Hunter UK site here). Each of the countries work independently according to the needs or should I say, sometimes enthusiasm, of their members.  True to our aims  we send out a  quarterly newsletter to foster communication and hopefully participation. We attend and host a Clan Hunter tent at many (not all) of the Highland Games throughout the area and try to spread the word so to speak. Volunteers are always needed at such gatherings as they are happening all over the place. It’s a great place to meet people, and my wife and I love hosting a tent. We have an annual gathering/dinner which is normally held in Fergus at the same time as the Fergus Highland Games. Every 3 years we have a Hunter gathering at Hunterston Castle in Scotland and the next gathering will be in 2017. So Hunters from all over the world will be gathering to talk of all things Hunter and no doubt to discuss future directions of the Association. What you get out of the Association depends very much on what you put in. Some folks are quite happy to get their newsletter four times a year and others want to share information and meet with one another and so on. The Odom library in Moultrie, Georgia, USA has been declared our official Hunter library. Many of the Hunters have extensive family histories in print and copies of these are being sent to the library as well as copies of official documents from Hunterston supplied by the Chief of the Clan, Madam Pauline Hunter of Hunterston, 30th Laird.  The availability and convenience of access to this information is of course relative to the distance you are from its location, although most Association branches have a genealogy person who will help you in your search for family links if they can. Clan Hunter Canada is pleased to offer a special Genealogy page where members can load their own family tree and browse and compare with the others listed there.  I do hope you go ahead with your thoughts on joining the association. Good Luck and best wishes
