East-West Chapter

The East-West Chapter is one of the driving chapters under the umbrella of the Alberta Carriage Driving Association. We are a non-profit organization that services northeastern Alberta and northwestern Saskatchewan.

The chapter provides such opportunities as rides and drives, hands-on seminars, clinics, an annual driving competition, a pleasure show, and plenty of fun activities throughout the year. And don’t forget the food!!!!

The East-West Chapter is for people who are interested in driving horses. We encourage safe, educational and competitive activities but do not forget to do the fun and social stuff too.

We encourage new members to watch; try; and participate; in our events. The best way to do this is to volunteer.

Many of our events need lots of volunteers; you will be treated royally for your time (usually involves food) and we get to do what we love best – drive our horses.

We encourage other clubs to participate in our events and we reciprocate when ever we can. We also welcome new members to try us out for a year to see who we are and what we do.
