Canvas Routes is a Montreal-based automotive community built around curated car meets, scenic road trips and convoy adventures across North America and beyond. The passion for the road matters more than the badge on your car, though we do maintain a performance and luxury standard across all our events.

Anyone who genuinely loves to drive. Not to be seen, not to park and pose — but to actually get out and experience the road. Our community brings together enthusiasts of all backgrounds who share a respect for the drive, the machine and the people around them.

Yes — a car club built around the drivers. Cars are the common thread, but the real heart of Canvas Routes is the person behind the wheel. Someone who chose their car with intention and would rather be out on the road than standing next to it. If that sounds like you, you belong here.

Montreal, Quebec. All current events depart from Montreal or the greater Montreal area. We are a young and growing community with ambitions that stretch across Quebec, Ontario, Vermont, Maine, New York and beyond.

A curated invite-only morning meet at a premium venue in Montreal. Great cars, great coffee, great people. No entry fee, no judging — just a morning worth waking up for.

No revving, no burnouts, no aggressive driving at any time. We are guests of our venue partners and neighbours of the communities we meet in. Respect the space, respect the cars around you and bring the right energy.

A fully planned curated convoy through some of the most scenic backroads in North America. Every detail is handled — breakfast before departure, stops along the route, group lunch, farewell drinks and personal photography of your car on the road. All you bring is your car and your energy.

We plan every route to avoid highways as much as possible. After the first regroup stop we take nothing but backroads all the way to the destination. Every route is personally mapped and scouted before the trip. Expect winding two-lane roads, elevation changes, lake views and long sweeping corners.

The full itinerary is shared privately with confirmed participants ahead of the trip. We generally keep the specific stops and roads a surprise — part of the Canvas Routes experience is the discovery along the way.

The fee covers premium breakfast before departure, all food and drink stops along the route, personal photography of your car on the road, a Canvas Routes welcome kit and full media coverage of the day. Parking fees (if needed) and your car's gas are not included.

Yes — the base fee covers two people per car. Additional passengers are charged separately. Children are welcome and we offer tiered pricing depending on age.

Yes. All road trip participants are required to sign a Canvas Routes participant waiver before the event. This is sent to you upon confirmation of your spot.

Generally, any fee paid to Canvas Routes is fully refundable. That said, it can vary depending on the type of event or trip and how close to the date the cancellation is made. If you need to cancel, reach out directly — we will always do our best to work with you.

From June 2026, Canvas Routes members get first access to every road trip — spots open to members before anyone else, at preferred member pricing. The Into the Laurentians road trip on June 7 is the last trip with open registration before membership launches.

Registration is handled through canvasroutes.com. Once confirmed, payment details are sent by email. Spots are strictly limited and confirmed on a first paid basis. Registration deadlines apply for each trip.

Yes — overnight and multi-day convoy adventures are a core part of Canvas Routes. We have overnight trips planned for this season and longer expeditions in the works beyond that.

The Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia — a full convoy from Montreal to Cape Breton, one of the greatest driving roads in North America. This is a trip we are actively planning. Reach out at info@canvasroutes.com to be kept in the loop.

Our routes span North America — scenic backroads through the northeast, longer expeditions further afield, and overnight adventures for those who want to go further. The road has no limits and neither do we.
