Histoire des 99s et du Chapitre de Montréal:
 
L'organization des 99s  a debuté aux Etats-Unis en 1929 afin de regrouper les femmes pilotes et promouvoir leurs interêts et habilités.  Le nom "99" provient du nombre de femmes pilotes qui se sont presentées (sur environ 125) à la premiere réunion et ou elles ont elu Amelia Earheart Présidente.  Les 99s du Canada ont debuté officiellement au Canada en 1950.  Notre Chapitre de Montreal existe depuis le 25 Mai 1970; auparavant les 99s de Montréal étaient associées au Chapitre d'Ottawa.  Le 29 octobre nous célébrons nos 60 années des 99s au Canada, a Toronto.
 
Le Chapitre de Montreal a toujours varié entre 10 et 25 femmes pilotes, par contre nous pouvons être beaucoup plus maintenant car plus de femmes apprennent a piloter, sont instructrices et CFIs!  Un programme d'activitées a été mis en place pour les prochaines deux années et nous sommes présentement dans une grande campagne de recrutement pour rassembler le plus de femmes pilotes possibles pour que nos activites béneficient le plus grand nombre possible de femmes et réponde à leurs besoins. Nous avons des activités mensuelles de pilotage, des réunions plus formelles et moins formelles ainsi que des visites industrielles, des conférenciers et une foule d'autres activitées.

History of the 99s and the Montreal Chapter:
 
The 99s organization started in the United States in 1929 in order to regroup women pilots and to promote their interests and skills.  The name "99" comes from the number of women pilots who showed up (out of 125) to the first meeting where Amelia Earheart was elected first President.  The Canadian 99s officially started in Canada in 1950.  Our Montreal Chapter exists since May 25th 1970.  Prior to that, the Montreal 99s were part of the Ottawa Chapter.  On October 29th, we are celebrating 60 years of the 99s in Canada, in Toronto.

The Montreal Chapter membership has varied between 10 and 25 women pilots, however, we can be many more since more women are flying, are instructors and CFIs!  An activity program for the next two years has been put in place and we are presently in a big recruitment campaign to gather the most women pilots possible so that our activities benefit the largest number of women pilots possible and answers their needs.  We have monthly activities of: flying, more formal meetings and less formal meetings as well as industrial visits, speakers and and whole host of other activities.
