On July 28, 2005 the Kawartha Chapter, Ontario XV received
our charter with a total of 24 members. (Three years later our
membership has increased to 46). We are members of the
Great Lakes
Conference and our Chapter is located in the beautiful
Kawartha Lakes & Haliburton Highlands,
Ontario, Canada. This conference joins 7 US States and Canadian
Provinces together to represent one of the largest geographical areas in
the world. We have 88 Chapters, holding 2,634 members as of Aug 2007. We hope that you enjoy your stay and come back soon.
The
Blue Knights is a non profit, International fraternal organization,
consisting of law enforcement officers and their families who are motorcycle
enthusiasts. For the most part, any police officer or law enforcement
officer can join the Blue Knights. You do not have to be a motor-officer or
ride a motorcycle while on duty to join. You can fight crime all day in
plain clothes if you like and still enjoy the friendship of other Blue
Knights. RANK has no privileges with us. From Constable to Chief of
Police, we are all the same enjoying friendship and camaraderie.
As of January 1, 2008, we have 586 chapters and almost 20,000 members in 28 countries.
Our Mission
As a non
profit organization, we frequently raise funds for charity. Of course, we
ride our motorcycles to these events. We don't care what you ride, as long
as you ride! On many occasions we visit other chapters and participate in
their events. This site has taken the attitude that ALL Blue Knight
functions are important to display to members. See the
Local Schedule page for all Chapter
XV local
rides and events.
Many Blue Knights work long and hard to raise money for
various charities. Especially near to our hearts is helping children.
Make-a-Wish Foundation, Toys for Tots, D.A.R.E., and Concerns of Police
Survivors are some examples of our favorites.
As of 1 January 2008 Blue Knights have donated to numerous charities; contributing time in the amount
of $3,299,600 (164,980 man hours @ $20 per hour), goods with an estimated value of $571,830.89 and $5,344,537.88 in cash for a total of $9,215,968.77 (USD)
