History

In 1983 a group of Vancouver BC motorcycle accident victims established the "Association for Injured Motorcyclists."  They intended to provide moral and financial support to accident victims and their families as well as references to legal support, rehabilitation sources, etc.

In 1988 the Vancouver Chapter began establishing chapters throughout the Province of BC.  These chapters applied for, and were registered under, the BC Societies Act and became autonomous organizations.  Because there was no central organization, only non-binding agreements could be put in place at informal meetings.

In 1996 the chapters agreed they needed a National body to regulate the organization, to control and expedite the growth, and control the use of the new name and Logo.

On May 24, 1996, the "Alliance For Injured Motorcyclists Canada" was created and has since been registered as a Canadian non-profit corporation.

New A.I.M. Can chapters have been established in British Columbia and Alberta, and there has been interest shown in other provinces.
