About & History
The Corvette Club of Manitoba Inc. was founded in 1971 and is now in its 40th year. Membership currently exceeds 140 members and co-members (spouse or significant other). A wide variety of Corvettes are represented in the club with many from the '50s, '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, and 2000s, including many from the new C6 generation, including a C6 ZR1.
As a non-profit organization, and to raise money, the club participates in various fund raising events (car shows, raffle tickets). The club's primary charity is the Rainbow Society. Some other events that are held throughout the year are slalom races, Gimli drag races, games nights, show & shines (car shows), summer fun cruises, BBQs, club travel meetings in the summer, parts swap meets... the list goes on and on.
Many of our sponsors offer parts and service discounts, and if a mysterious problem occurs with your car, chances are someone in the club has experienced and corrected the same problem. Upon joining the club, a new member receives a Corvette Club of Manitoba jacket patch, window decal, and a membership card. A monthly newsletter detailing all upcoming events is emailed to each member, and club jackets and T-shirts are also available. Membership is $40 per year, or $55 total for a member and co-member. There is an additional one time $5 fee for new applications.
Meetings are held on the last Tuesday of every month. Meetings are generally held at our club sponsor's dealership - Murray Chevrolet located at 1700 Waverley Street at 7:30 PM during the winter months. For the summer months the meeting locations will change so we recommend viewing our events section to verify meeting locations and for additional updates on activities.
