MCC to hold October Congress

From the Motorcyclists Confederation of Canada

TORONTO, ON -- The Motorcyclists Confederation of Canada (MCC) will hold its first planning congress for members since its incorporation in January, 2005. As with its prior events in 2003 and 2004, MCC also invites Canada’s motorcycle organizations to attend and offer their perspective and input.

The focus of this year’s Congress will be to establish election procedures (for the Board of Directors), to evaluate organizational structures that will serve motorcycling and motorcyclists and to establish a plan for its 2006 activities. The Congress will be held in Toronto, October 21-23.

MCC directors will be in attendance as will representatives of its member clubs. Organizations interested in attending can view more information on the association’s website, www.motorcycling.ca or contact MCC directly.

MCC is Canada’s newest and largest association representing motorcyclists’ interests. Originally named the Motorcyclists Alliance of Canada (MAC), the MCC was incorporated in January, 2005. Its membership comprises more than 200 clubs and represents over 70,000 riders.

MCC is title sponsor of the Induction Dinner for the Canadian Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum. MCC also serves on the advisory committee for the Canadian International Motorcycle Festival (www.cimf.ca).

The MCC’s vision is to foster the expansion of all aspects of Canadian motorcycling by working together to increase awareness of the positive aspects of motorcycling. Its mission is to provide leadership and unity in promoting and protecting the interests of responsible motorcycling in Canada.
