An annual ride to Paldi BC, a town in the middle of nowhere on Vancouver Island, which was once a home to a bustling community of 1500 hardworking pioneers. This is a two-day event with an overnight stay in Duncan town and you can get a lot of first hand information from the people who have spent their childhood in this town.
This is a National Ride to be done on last weekend of July by all chapters of Sikh Motorcycle Club Canada in each respective province on one assigned day.

Every year, Sikh Motorcycle Club feels blessed to be part of this Nagar Kirtan on the occasion of Prakash Purab of Shri Guru Granth Sahib. We do participate with bikes and do the Sewa of tying Kesari Turbans to people on our Club Float.
This annual ride is done in the honour of all those who lost and gave their lives on September 11th, 2001. You can probably see every bike of the Lower Mainland in this memorial procession.
This is another event to serve Humanity where every biker brings a toy with him and receives a pin in return for this riding vest. These toys are distributed around Christmas to the underprivileged children.
This is another similar toy run with thousands of bikes every year. Bikers do love to positive things.
October
Another is a solid reason to ride even in the month of October. This Vancouver Motorcycle Christmas Toy Run is one of the largest toy runs in Canada. Many motorcycle groups volunteer including the municipalities of neighbouring cities.

“Spread the word around”
Riding
Riding is always on top in the hierarchy of our needs. It's a passion, it's a joy and above all it's a way of life. If a rider is riding with courtesy, care and above all safety, he might be one of us!
Community Services
Helping the community and being on the bike at the same time is the best practical use of our ‘love for riding’. We’re proud as a group that we do something for humanity.
Awareness
We aim to educate the public about Sikhs & Sikhi and help correct misconceptions about Turban through which we share the values of love, faith, equality and social justice.
Sikh Motorcycle Club strives to promote a safe and enjoyable riding experience for all its members. These are some of the few important things to consider before getting a Sikh Motorcycle Club patch on your vest.
