The Canadian Association of Rocketry is a volunteer run organization, open to anyone with a keen desire to safely participate in high power or
model rocketry. High power rocketry has grown quickly in popularity, and the CAR and its affiliate clubs are at the forefront. Regional CAR
organizations including the
Calgary Rocketry Association in Alberta,
Tripoli Quebec in Quebec, the
Lethridge Rocketry Association, the
Cold Lake Rocketry Club and the
Ottawa Rocketry Group (ORG) are hosting high power events on a routine basis.
Visit the
Affiliated Canadian Clubs page to see all local and regional CAR organizations which hold regular model
rocket and high power launches.
In 1996 CAR obtained a reciprocal agreement with the
National Association of Rocketry (NAR)
for recognition of CAR's high power certification process. An agreement has also been reached with the
Tripoli Rocketry Association, the U.S. high power rocketry organization - CAR members have
access to Tripoli sanctioned launches in the United States (and vice versa) with complete recognition of certification levels. In 2002 the
CAR Motor Certification Committee reached reciprocal recognition with both NAR and TRA motor testing committees
for the certification of rocket motors.
