PROFILES


The Women Riders’ Council has chosen to Promote and Celebrate Women Riders in Canada.  One way we will do this is by profiling women who exemplify the sport and activity of motorcycling; women who are role models. 

If you would like to recommend a woman for us to profile, please forward your recommendation, along with the reasons why to us by clicking here.   We appreciate your enthusiasm and will respond to all recommendations.
