OVTC Activities
2021 Event Photos
Mark and Anne Russel, Wendover, 18 September
Many thanks to Mark and Anne Russel for hosting a Triumph enthusiasts get together at their home on the Ottawa River in Wendover, ON. After much tire kicking, socializing, and a couple of Triumph parts "boot sales" we enjoyed a picnic lunch in the Russel's back yard with a spectacular view of the Ottawa River. Mark then lead a drive along the Ottawa River that included a photo stop at the old L'Original Jail and ended with frozen treats at the Dairy Queen in Hawkesbury.
Another Summer of Cancelled Events
Well we thought in 2020 that we would be returning to "normal" in 2021, but Covid-19 had other ideas. Another summer of cancelled events. Let's hope that 2022 let's us once again resume our normal schedule of summer events; however, 2022 has started off with more restrictions.
All OVTC activities are cancelled until at least 1 March 2022 due to
public health concerns related to COVID-19.
