  1. Does the club still accept new members? Yes
  2. What is the status of the outdoor field? Will it work this year (2021)? Especially the helicopter part. I saw some waring records about possible closure of the filed, but all of them are for previous years 2019 and 2020. Apart for a short period, we have been open during the pandemic, with restrictions - maximum # of plane (4) or heli/drone (2) pilots at a time. Reservation slots: 2 hours each. Social distancing, masks, etc.
  3. What will be the schedule? Are there are limits and no-fly days? The only restrictions are mentioned above. If I become a member, will I be able to use the field on weekends? Yes
  4. Are there any new rules and limitations regarding COVID situation and curfew in Montreal? See above
Thank you very much for the answers! It will help me take the correct decision.

No need to worry about helicopter instructor. I am experienced pilot and already was a volunteer MAAC instructor myself for CSLRC.
