2009 Quad Squad Events

Crowsnest meetings are held on the 2nd Sunday of every month at 7pm at the Hillcrest Fish & Game Hall. For a complete guide to the Crowsnest Pass including events, accommodations, dining and artisans, please visit CrowsnestGuide.com.

Calgary general meetings are typically held quarterly at 7pm upstairs in the West Hillhurst (the "Penalty Box" Hospitality Room). In early April is the Annual General Meeting (AGM) when a new CQS board is elected. Most CQS rides provide a Family (slower), Intermediate (faster) and Advanced (extreme) group leader to match your riding skills. Inter-club members are encouraged to attend. Random unofficial member organized rides are often posted in the locally based Rebels forum on ATVFrontier.com

For information or to sign up for projects or rides, phone numbers and email are on our contact us page.
