From CAA history
The Canadian Automobile Association is a non-profit federation, founded in 1913, of nine clubs across Canada, providing roadside assistance service, a range of auto touring and leisure travel services, insurance services, and member discounts.
The CAA considers itself to be an advocate for Canada’s motorists and travellers, and is affiliated with the American Automobile Association (AAA) of the United States. Many English-language TourBooks and maps about Canada distributed by CAA clubs are published by AAA, and carry both CAA and AAA branding. CAA is an active political lobby for Canadian car-owners, pursuing the interests of drivers in public consultations over urban planning and public transit.
CAA Manitoba – the first club of its kind in Canada
CAA Manitoba can trace its origins to the creation of the Winnipeg Auto Club in 1904, the first club of its kind in Canada. The organization later evolved into the Manitoba Motor League, becoming an integral part of motoring history in the province – from developing the first road map, to marking highways, to implementing road safety programs. The MML was renamed CAA Manitoba in 1993.
The Toronto Automobile Club
The Toronto Automobile Club was founded on May 4, 1903. By this time like-minded motorists were forming their own clubs throughout Ontario to exchange and share information about their vehicles.
In 1907 the Toronto Automobile Club and clubs representing Hamilton, Ottawa and Kingston formed The Ontario Motor League (OML) with the purpose of helping automobile owners to lobby governments, as opposition to the automobile was extensive at the time. It had a paid membership from the various clubs of 170 active, and 56 associate, individual members.
