BMW Motorrad Club Quebec inc.
The official constitution of the club dates back to November 29, 1982. Our official legislation and our influence is across Quebec.
We are the only official club recognized by BMW Clubs Canada (BMW CC) and BMW Germany (BMW AG) in Quebec.
As a result, we are the only French-speaking BMW club in America. Also, we are affiliated with BMW Motorcycles Owners of America (MOA) under number 86, an organization bringing together all BMW motorcyclists in North America. Besides that, we have members from Quebec who are also members of our neighboring club: Motorcycle Owner Vermont (MOV). Which therefore extends our reach beyond Quebec.
On the financial side, we are a non-profit organization (NPO) which aims: mutual aid, friendly meetings, the improvement of its members in riding their motorcycle, improvement in mechanics by offering advice in order to carry out certain basic maintenance, improvement in emergency medical care by offering a clinical first aid workshop, and other training exclusive to members. This is without counting all the exclusive discounts from our member benefits plan from the partners who support the club.

Word from the president
Dear motorcycle enthusiasts,
It's the long-awaited moment when the excitement of the road, the roar of engines and the camaraderie of enthusiasts come together. As president of our club, I am honored to welcome you all to this new chapter full of adventures.
We have worked hard to put together a program of varied activities and we are counting on your participation to express your gratitude. Your advance registrations greatly help us in planning events. Together, let's make this motorcycle season a memorable chapter in our adventure book.
I would like to express my gratitude to each of you for your involvement and support, which contributes to an active club that stands out.
The adventure begins with us!
Warmly,
Lucie Veilleux
User-friendliness policy
At all times, activities take place in a friendly and respectful environment so as to project a good image of motorcyclists.
On social networks, discussions are constructive on subjects of common interest. Hateful or disrespectful remarks towards other members or towards our sponsor partners are not tolerated. Any posts that administrators deem inappropriate will be removed.
During Club activities, the role of the "leader" of a group is to inform participants about the type of hike planned. Not knowing the level of all the participants, the leader is not responsible for unforeseen events that may arise during a hike. Thus, depending on their level of experience and their ability to follow the group, it is up to the participants to choose whether or not to be part of the group.
The members of the Administrative Council (AC) are volunteers who act to the best of their knowledge in all situations that may present themselves to them, both at the administrative level and during events.
Administrators may suspend or expel any member who commits an act deemed harmful or who engages in conduct likely to harm the organization. (Organizational Bylaws Charter NO.2013-1, Clause 3.03 Disciplinary Measures).
