for the OP,
try and be realistic, the likelihood of there ever being a Canadian chapter are very, very, low.
This board has been a great service to me since I bought my Cherokee, if you take it for what you can get form it, it will be for you too.
Now if you look at how many members each chapter has, it's more likely they have more members per chapter, then we have up here across Canada combined. Add that to the distances we'd have to cover for meetings, trail runs, etc...
