Dear members and future members of the NCGM, we hope you are having a great summer. The summer season is ending soon and now is the time to plan naturist activities for the fall season. At the NCGM we have already made our reservation requests for each of our activities.

This program is dynamic and will depend on the opportunities for activities offered and of course on the participation rate of the members. We are trying to harmonize the dates of our activities with the ONNO club of Ottawa/Gatineau. It is possible that the renovation work on the Sainte-Julie swimming pool will not yet be completed by October 28. In this case, another swimming activity will then be offered.

Membership applications

Please note that the NCGM does not process membership applications during the summer season. New requests received will be processed from August 15, 2023.

Summary of the 2022-2023 season:

We are already approaching the end of the first full year of regular activities at the NCGM, which ends on August 31. Since September 1, 2022, the NCGM has carried out five swimming activities in Repentigny, one swimming activity in Sainte-Julie, two bowling activities in Laval, two spa activities in the Laurentians and three gymnasium activities in Laval.

Some club members also participated in activities organized by other clubs, such as a swim in a wave pool organized by the ONNO club in Ottawa and a sugar shack dinner activity organized by the Center Naturiste Oasis in Terrebonne.

This summer, the NCGM invited its members to try several activities offered in the two major naturist centers located in the greater Montreal area (L’Oasis and La Pommerie). Some new members had the pleasure of discovering leisure activities in a naturist center for the first time.

The fall 2022 season was particularly difficult, several activities had been canceled due to the lack of participants. The winter season was more successful with no cancellations but with two activity changes. The financial year saw a financial deficit but this was considered normal as the club is still in its infancy.

As of September 1, 2022, we had 52 registered members (38 registrations). As of May 1, 2023, we had 145 registered members (102 registrations). A registered member is a member accepted into the NCGM after completing the required formalities which include a telephone interview. Each member must be in good standing (have their dues paid) to have the privilege of participating in an activity.

New sporting activity in development:

Since this spring, the NCGM has started developing an activity with an exclusively sports theme. The following sports are offered: badminton, volleyball, free swimming, lap swimming and aqua fitness session. It is a weekly activity in an initial session of 4 weeks. It is reserved for naturists wishing to maintain good physical shape and will take place on a weekday evening.

This activity can start as soon as there are a minimum of pre-registered participants. A first attempt was made in June but without success. To succeed, we need enough registrations a few months in advance to allow us to rent the pool and gymnasium simultaneously. We will make a new attempt at the end of August beginning of September. If this activity interests you, the first thing to do is to pre-register now. Here is the link :
