Welcome to the Vintage Car Club of Canada (VCCC) Powell River
Chapter! If you are interested in antique cars (anything 25 years old or more) then
check us out! We do many activities throughout the season, including raising funds
for local charities such as the Therapeutic Riders and the Toy Run. You may have
seen some of our members and their cars in the Seafair Parade, or on display at the
Blackberry Festival. We never turn down a chance to show off our work! Our meetings are usually held at the Beach Gardens on the first
Wednesday of the month. Contact Walter Harvey through email or by phone at 483-7704 to learn more!
We also have an outing for our members to participate in every month - in the summer, we
take a scenic drive and sometimes have a picnic, in the winter it's usually a potluck at a
member's house or even a trip to a local restaurant. Families are always welcome, of
course!
Currently, our Powell River Chapter has 31 members, but the blanket organization of the Vintage Car Club of Canada has (at last count) 999 members! All members are welcome to participate in rallies and tours, which take place at different times of the year, in a different city each year. One example is the May tour, held this year in Victoria, with over 250 cars attending. This is a great opportunity to meet members from other communities, look at lots of vintage cars restored to their original condition, and even take part in the competitions! Next year, this event will be held in Kelowna.
Membership dues are $45 per family per year. This includes $35 to join the British Columbia chapter, and $10 to join our local Powell River chapter. In addition to all the help, support, and advice fellow members will give you on restoring cars, you will be joining a national network of people who can help you buy or sell parts you need. You will also receive 6 issues a year of the Vintage Car Magazine, which includes classified ads, a listing of upcoming events, and much more!
