Great Pine Ridge SectionWe're Back for 2022!Click to see upcoming eventsEventsHistoryFounded in 1982, Great Pine Ridge (GPR) is one of the largest sections in the CVMG. The Section currently has more than 100 members and more than 400 classic and vintage motorcycles. GPR represents CVMG members living in Scarborough, as well as Durham and York regions north of Toronto. The Great Pine Ridge name is derived from the pine forests that abound along the Oak Ridges Moraine, a significant landform in Southern Ontario. The moraine gets its name from the rolling hills and river valleys extending 160 km from the Niagara Escarpment east to Rice Lake. It was formed 12,000 years ago by advancing and retreating glaciers. GPR Section is very active in the motorcycling community. By hosting and participating in a number of events, members further the aims of the CVMG, to ‘…promote the use, restoration and interest in older motorcycles’. Being part of the CVMG, the GPR section is a not-for-profit organization. Shows and DisplaysMembers have displayed their motorcycles at a number of events, such as: the Toronto Motorcycle Show (Enercare Centre), Copper Kettle Classics (Creemore, ON), the CVMG National Rally (Fairgrounds, Paris, ON) and Brits in the Park (Victoria Park, Lindsay). MeetingsGPR Section meets for breakfast every Sunday morning (year round) at Famous Sam's Restaurant on the north east corner of Stouffville Road and Woodbine Avenue (just east of Highway 404). There are also regular Section meetings. The purpose of these meetings is to socialize and to transact any Section business. During the winter, meetings are held at the Highland Creek Legion starting at 7:30PM. During the riding season, meetings are held at various venues.

These positions are effective January 1, 2023 Message from Nancy, December 2022I’ve enjoyed the last five years at the helm of GPR that included guiding the section through COVID from afar, as well as my previous eight years as Secretary. Looking forward, you have an excellent group on the executive, with Brock, Mark, Jason and Andrew. I know I leave the Section in good hands. The past year saw us resume in-person gatherings, albeit mostly outdoors over the summer. Many thanks to Brock Hansler, Clancy Goodfellow and Grant Nixon for opening their homes to us for summer BBQs. We were also fortunate to have several members guide us on History Tours.
