President’s Message:
We are really close now! In fact I have heard that some of you have even pulled the cover off your Vette! It really is going to be great getting behind the wheel of our Corvettes again.
Our Registration numbers are down slightly from last year. Maybe that should be expected given that last year we were celebrating our 50th year in existence. It also could be that some past Members have missed the communications surrounding our February 28th deadline for Registering. Effective March 1st we changed our mailing lists to include only those who registered prior to the deadline. If people did not register they are no longer receiving our communications. If you know of anyone in that situation please tell them to go to our Website and Register; NOW! You don’t want them to miss another fantastic year of Corvetting!
Social Committee – Upcoming Events:
The Social Events Calendar for 2026 is still actively being planned. We already have events planned for 2026 but we are always open for new ideas and suggestions.
Please Note: Our first road cruise is planned for May 3rd. Unfortunately, we do not have anyone volunteering to take that cruise and we are getting close to having to cancel. If you have been thinking of leading a cruise but have not done so yet, this is an excellent opportunity to volunteer. A pretty spring drive with a picnic or food truck stop is the ideal start to the new season. If you are interested, please send an email to Wanda Robinson.
Information on planned events for 2026 will be posted on the CCC website under the Events tab at the following link:

If you have ideas for Cruises or other events or have a suggestion, do not be shy! Please let us know by sending an email to Wanda Robinson at
socialdirector@capitalcorvetteclub.ca
Please Note: You must be Registered and Paid for 2026 in order to attend the following events. This is both our Bylaw and Insurance requirements.
The following events are already in the Calendar:
- Wheeler’s Pancake House Cruise – Tuesday, April 7th – Punch Bowl has been sent
- Annual General Meeting and Cruise-In Dining – April 15th – AGM Notice and Punch Bowl have been sent;

NEWSLETTER - Steering for Steer Friends Car Show, Stouffville, ON – June 13th – Punch Bowl has been sent
We still have many more events to be posted!
Please respond Yes or No to Punchbowl invites so that organizers have an accurate number of attendees. If something changes and you are not able to attend after you have already responded “Yes”, please go back and change your response to “No”. This is especially important for events where there is a cost. If you do not cancel before the deadline, we will not be able to issue a refund.

Information Technology:
Ongoing work continues to make improvements to the Web Site and our Registration System.
Don’t forget to sign up for our WhatsApp communication link. This is a great place to reach out to fellow members for planning car shows and the like. We have recently added a new group using our “general” Club group address list. This new group is to be used exclusively for announcing and arranging attendance at Car shows and Cruise Nights.
If you want to be included reach out to Bryce Durant at the following email address and ask him what is required to get you onto these links.

CCC Clothing:
We are still looking to add a few new items to our online catalogue. If any Members are looking for specific items of clothing that they would like added to the webstore please let us know by sending an email to:
Our webstore is always open. Show your pride in this great Club! Wear our logo and tell others how much fun we have.
Ordering is easy. Pick what you want, add your preferences (colour, size, arm logo, etc.), pay and have it delivered to your door (at an additional cost). You can also choose to pick up your order at the Gadar office (1120 Morrison Drive, Unit 1).
We made it! April is here and our Corvette Driving season is about to begin! Don’t miss out. This is going to be a great year!
