This schedule is dynamic and will depend on activity opportunities offered and of course the participation rate of members. We are trying to harmonize the dates of our activities with the other naturist organizations ONNO of Ottawa/Gatineau, GNE/FQN of the Estrie and ANCN of Quebec City.
Membership applications
The NCGM will process several applications for membership in the next few weeks.
The NCGM is a family and inclusive club. Consequently a policy exists to maintain a certain balance and variety among its participant(s). Primarily at the level of adhesions, an effort is maintained to try to maintain a maximum ratio of 1.5 male to female. The only constraint comes from people in the “individual man” category who sometimes have to wait a few months before having the opportunity to complete their membership in the NCGM.
Corporate membership with the Fédération québécoise de naturisme (FQN)
In 2023, the NCGM had applied for corporate membership with the Fédération québécoise de naturisme (FQN). The same application was renewed in early December 2025. This time, the NCGM received a positive response from the FQN and was able to complete its corporate membership. This adhesion is similar to that near the FCN. Each federation that affiliates our club simply mentions its existence on their website and refers it to their respective members for people wishing to participate in local naturist activities in the greater Montreal area.
Presently, the FQN seems to better prioritize the promotion of naturism as a whole by encouraging its practice under different organizational structures (groups, clubs, associations, social media, etc.).
The NCGM has always encouraged the FCN and the FQN by granting its members a $5 per person per year discount on its NCGM membership rate. The NCGM has been a corporate member of the Canadian Federation of Naturists (FCN) since 2021.
Pool Montérégie
This activity remains our main bathing activity.
Last fall, we hosted a unique event in Sainte-Julie. We wanted to organize a second one in early December but couldn’t find any availability on Saturday or Sunday.
This activity has been mature for at least 3 years. The pool is very large with its 6 corridors. The water there is at a temperature of 29C. She can accommodate close to a hundred people. She is located at the intersection of highways 20 and 30 and possesses ample parking. Since last year, this activity is sometimes offered on Sunday and this doesn’t seem to affect the popularity of the event.
Initially, an aquaform session is offered during the first half hour. Swimming can be done throughout from 7pm to 8.30pm in one or two corridors installed depending on request. You can also play volleyball with the two big delinquent balls “Grosse Balloon” and “Foot Balloon” from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm.
During the whole activity, you can socialize in the shallow and deep areas with or without floats with the risk of receiving a delinquent ball over the head…
This activity is purely family friendly. There are participant(s) of all ages from young children to older people. It’s possible to borrow a variety of aquatic accessories including small slides, balloons, palms, floats, etc.
Before the activity, there is always a souper offered in a local restaurant. The chosen restaurant is usually the Normandin located nearby. This winter, we will have 3 activities at this location and they will always take place on a Saturday evening at 6:30pm. The January 10, 2026 activity is confirmed.
Spa Laurentians
Since last year, our service provider has completed major renovations of its facility. New electronic chains were installed. All you have to do is wear a small bracelet to open your locker door. Several improvements to the premises can be noticed during your next visit. Further renovations were effected last fall. Here is the link to a video to see the changes:
The venue of impeccable quality can easily accommodate 100 people. There are still plenty of opportunities to increase the number of participant(s).
A spa activity is a less abrupt step to trying naturism for the very first time!
We’ve got three dates scheduled for this winter. Our next activity will take place on January 24, 2026. Watch out because prices have slightly increased since this fall. The current access fee is now $90 including taxes.
Pool Repentigny
This activity is the simplest to organize for our Club. The pool is small but particularly warm (32C) and comfortable. There is a limit of 40 participant(s) but don’t worry because for now we still have plenty of places available. Last fall, we organized 3 activities in this area. It was very nice evenings but with very few participant(s).
The Repentigny pool is easily accessible from Highway 40 via Brien Boulevard. Before the activity, there is always a souper offered in a local restaurant. Lately, it’s the Scores restaurant which had been the favorite choice of our participant(s).
During our activity in Repentigny, we always install a volleyball net and use a small beach ball. An aquatic exercise session is offered by one of our members around 8.15pm. A line is also installed to swim along as needed. The evening always ends with a sifted lighting during the last half hour. This activity is of course completely family friendly.
Bowling/Games/Dinner Laval:
This special activity allows you to come soak in nature from 6pm and play with the keels between 7.30pm and 9.45pm in nature. You can also bring company games to end your evening if you don’t want to play to the keels during the whole period. From 9.45pm, nudity is no longer allowed and the regular clientele of the keel salon can join us but only from 10.00pm and that until midnight. The full licensed restaurant and bar remain open throughout the evening. Several of our members learned to play with keels naturally and are now very good player(s).
We launched this activity in the fall of 2024 and it was an instant success. We had organized two activities during the last season 2024-2 Last fall’s activity attracted less than 20 participant(s). It was very good but we needed 35 people to make the event profitable.
This activity necessitates an important reservation which must be completed at least 2 months in advance. The February 21 event was rescheduled. We would love to have at least 40 participant(s). Help us make this possible. Talk to your friend(s).
We officially confirm that the clothing port is unnecessary for playing with keels. Do try it, you won’t point disappointed.
Gymnasium/Pool Laval
Practicing sports activities in nature in a gym is very enjoyable. Several people continue to discover the benefits. Not only is a swimsuit during a swimming activity superfluous, but a sweat filled gym suit is rather unnecessary and even distasteful. Several experienced naturists discover our gym activities.
The swimming activity that follows the gym activity is very enjoyable. There is a real net installed to play volleyball with a small beach ball. It’s possible to take a shower directly at the pool thanks to two open showers located near the pool. The water temperature in the pool is comfortable. You can dive, swim along, do the aquarium or simply socialize. Not to forget to mention that the locker rooms include a magnificent wooden sauna and are of exemplary cleanliness.
Several members are now best badminton player(s) thanks to our regular Gymnasium/Pool Laval activity which now takes place almost every month.
Summary of the 2025 Annual General Meeting
On Sunday, December 21, 2025, was our Annual General Meeting 2025 (AGA 2025). Nine members participated. Four positions on the board of directors were open to new candidate(s) out of a total of 5 2-year positions allowed under the Club’s bylaws. The term of François Lévesque will end in AGA 2026 while the terms of Jean Morency and Stéphane V. Lemieux will expire in AGA 2025. Finally Jean Morency and Stéphane V. Lemieux were elected by acclamation as no one had filed their candidacy.
The financial balance sheet for the year 2024-2025 (as of 2025-08-31) makes a statement of income of $27,295 with expenses of $28,371. The annual deficit is $1,076. The assets and liabilities of the club were $1,936 and $5,101 respectively. The net worth was negative $3,165.
As at 31 August 2025, we had 333 registered members (248 valid registrations) since the inception of the club. At this same date, we had 188 regular members (122 males and 66 females). A registered member is an accepted member of the CNGM after completing the required formalities which include a telephone interview. Each member must be in order (have their dues paid) to have the privilege of participating in an activity.
A very promising sign for the Club, it’s an increase in activities on offer however the participation rate is not up to par and affects profitability. The Club should focus on promoting the activities offered for next year 2026.
Carpooling
For each activity, the NCGM offers a co-driving service for members who desire it. We will relentlessly continue to promote this service. This choice is directly offered during your registration to any of our activities. We coordinate transport from your addresses to maximize service efficiency. Don’t hesitate to use this service. It’s eco-friendly, economical and very safe.
To conclude
The NCGM needs your support. Join and register for the activities offered!
