Dixon Brings a canoe to the OVLR Birthday Party... but no paddle... |
Ottawa Valley Land Rovers, Inc. is the oldest and largest Land Rover club in Canada. Originally conceived in 1982 as a local chapter of the Association Of Land Rover Owners of Canada (ALROC) by the ALROC founders, OVLR has grown to an extent where by December, 1994 it was tied for the third largest club in North America. Membership currently stands at over 250 members. A quarter of those Rover owners reside in the Ottawa Valley. The remainder mostly reside in the United States (from New York State, to Virginia, to Montana and to the deserts and coasts of California), Britain and even Germany. The club celebrates its Twenty-Fourth birthday in June of 2007. Membership is open to all Land Rover enthusiasts (and Range Rovers and Discoverys too!).

OVLR offers the only monthly North American newsletter and a variety of activities throughout the year, from mechanical seminars and off-road rallies to social events and family oriented outings. Off-road activities come in several categories. The light version, which is usually entertainment during a rally or at one of our family summer events, consists of a little "mud bogging" or tours along country lanes. The heavy stuff, which is usually several days across public lands navigating by compass, topographical maps and aerial photographs, involves bridge building, river fording, and driving conditions ranging from cedar swamp to rocky hill winching.
