As we celebrate our nation’s milestone birthday this month, we decided to look back at some interesting highlights of Canada’s motorcycling history. Take a walk down memory lane as we look at some of the things that happened over the decades.
MCC General Manager Wayne Daub had the pleasure of attending the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) Annual meeting and conference hosted in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories in early June. The members of CCMTA are comprised of provincial government transportation employees from all 13 provinces and territories in Canada, along with public service departments, and public insurance corporations. Along with the Board of Directors, CCMTA has three major committees consisting of Compliance and Regulatory Affairs (CRA), Drivers and Vehicles (DV), and Road Safety Research and Policies (RSRP).

After a long, cold Canadian winter, motorcyclists are eager to get back on the roads. Warmer spring weather signals the start of the motorcycle season – that’s why May is officially recognized as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. The Motorcyclists Confederation of Canada (MCC) wants all motorcyclists to be visible on the roads, in the hopes of reducing crashes, especially at intersections where almost 50 per cent of motorcycle collisions occur.
“Motorcycle safety is everyone’s responsibility,” explains Dave Millier, MCC Chair. “We’re encouraging everyone to take the Motorcycle Safety Pledge because behind the helmet, motorcyclists are mothers, fathers, children, and friends.”
Everyone plays an important role in motorcycle safety. Even if you do not ride a motorcycle, chances are you know someone that does. That’s why at the MCC we believe motorcycle safety is everyone’s responsibility.
Behind the helmet, motorcyclists are mothers, fathers, children, and friends. Please help others think about motorcycles this riding season. Increased visibility and awareness will improve the chance of motorcyclists being seen on the roads and trails this year. Read More
For women motorcyclists, riding is freedom. Often an activity they may not have thought of doing, riding a motorcycle allows women to challenge themselves, gain skills and build self-confidence.
