HOMECOMINGVALCOURT 2017

JUNE 2-3-4, 2017

I’m pleased to welcome you to Valcourt, the hometown of BRP and Can-Am Spyder.

As you are about to discover, BRP has developed a strong

centre of expertise in the heart of Québec’s Eastern

Townships. This is where we create market-shaping products

that provide an exceptional experience to our customers,

as we did with the Spyder 10 years ago.

Back in 2007, for the third time in its history, BRP created a

new industry. First came the snowmobiles then the personal

watercraft. And then our team started an industry of

mass-produced three-wheeled motorcycles. Today, the

three-wheel Spyder is more than just a trend, with fans

increasing in number every day, more passionate than ever.

I’m proud to celebrate with you the 10th anniversary of

Can-Am Spyder. For a decade people have discovered the

Y-Factor: the wind-in-your-face freedom, the exhilaration of

the open road and the peace-of-mind they desire. The Spyder

represent a gateway to freedom, adventures and friendships.

This is an historic event. It marks the largest single gathering

of Spyder vehicles ever. All told, there are nearly 3,000

owners in Valcourt from across the globe. Together with our

team members, this group represents some of the most avid

Spyder fans in the world.

At its core, this event is a celebration of you, the Spyder

owner. Without you, none of this would be possible. It’s been

an amazing adventure these past ten years, so let’s celebrate

the freedom of the open road and the sense of community

that comes with owning a Can-Am Spyder.

Here’s to continuing this incredible ride, to meeting new

friends and discovering new places!

Can-Am SpyderBRP has a rich history of creating market-

shaping products. Among the highlights

are the invention of the snowmobile

(1959) and the introduction of the

personal watercraft (1968).

The company applied that same

philosophy when deciding to create an on-

road vehicle. It started in 1996 when three

questions were asked to the BRP design

team: What’s the next big thing for BRP?

How can we leverage our powersports

expertise? How can we create an

alternative vehicle to motorcycles?

And with that, the Can-Am Spyder was

born. It has redefined riding ever since.

Our initial mantra was, “We believe in

a world where everyone can enjoy the

exciting adventure of riding on the open

road.” It still rings true today.

There are more than 100,000 Can-Am

Spyder owners around the world, and

each one is part of something very special

– the global Can-Am Spyder owners’

community. Regardless of where you

ride, every owner is part of that incredible

group, which continues to grow every day.

BRPThe company was incorporated by

Joseph-Armand Bombardier in Valcourt,

Québec, in 1942. Bombardier used his

passion for innovation and ability to solve

mechanical problems to seek a solution

to snowbound winters in Québec.

He patented and produced the first

B7 snow-mobile – a multi-passenger,

enclosed vehicle – in the late 1930s.

Bombardier forged ahead and

subsequently launched the Ski-Doo

snowmobile, creating a new sport in

the process. His innovative spirit lives

on at BRP across all products, including

Ski-Doo and Lynx snowmobiles, Sea-Doo

watercraft, Evinrude outboard engines,

Rotax propulsion systems, Can-Am

off-road vehicles and of course, the

Can-Am Spyder.

Today, BRP products are distributed

in over 100 countries by more than

4,200 dealers and distributors. BRP

employs approximately 8,700 people

worldwide, all with a shared vision to

move people with passion and innovation.

BRP FactoryThe BRP plant in Valcourt, has come

a long way over the years. It started

in a garage, moved in 1940 to the

building that still stands today as BRP’s

headquarters. Expansion continued

through the second half of the century as

Bombardier introduced more products,

including Sea-Doo personal watercraft in

1968 and Can-Am motorcycles in 1973.

The latest plant is an advanced facility

that produces the Can-Am Spyder in

addition to Ski-Doo snowmobiles.

Product Development CentreBRP opened its newly-renovated R&D

Am products.
