Background:

For 55 years, since the Amsterdam Motor Show in 1948, Land-Rover's products have served the world and are still hailed as masters of rough terrain travel. OVLR celebrates its 19th Birthday since that fateful day when local members of the Association of Land Rover Owners of Canada established a local chapter. The Birthday Party is a rather unique event, different from many of your average rallies as seen in articles written for Land Rover World and Land Rover Owner magazines.

The Event:

The Birthday party is being organized and hosted by the oldest and largest Land Rover club in Canada, Ottawa Valley Land Rovers. Members from the Empire Rover Owners Society and the Upper Canada Land Rover Association are also in attendance for both their logistical and entertainment support. The event will be held near Silver Lake, Ontario, because of the geographical location being central to the bulk of OVLR regional members as well as having some diverse terrain upon which to host the event. (bedrock, cedars swamp, and mud). Silver Lake is located about sixty miles west of Ottawa on Highway 7. People with an interest in Land Rovers will be coming from Quebec and Ontario and the northeastern United States to participate in activities and share ideas, experiences and yarns. The event is open to all Land Rover Products - Land Rover, Range Rovers and Discoveries. Owners of Rover cars and other vehicle makes are most welcome to attend and participate in the spirit of the event. However, certain activities will be only for Land Rovers (i.e. RTV Trials, Land Rover displays.) You do not have to be a member of any club to attend and participate in the event; however, because of insurance requirements you must be a member of OVLR to drive on the off-road. For information on past Birthday Party's go to the Past Events pages where write-ups on the 12th, 13th, and 14th Birthday Party's are covered by various OVLR members. The 16th Birthday Party was attended by approximately 75 Land Rovers and more than 160 people, while the 17th topped 90 vehicles and 180 people. Lots of photos and articles (and even a Quicktime movie) of the 18th Birthday Party can be found at the 18th Birthday Party pages
