About BRP

BRP is the Valcourt company behind Ski-Doo snowmobiles, Sea-Doo watercraft and Can-Am off-road vehicles. Its roots go back to 1942 and Joseph-Armand Bombardier's snow vehicles, which led to the snowmobile.

It suits outdoor lovers who spend winters on snowmobile trails and summers on the lake. Quebec has a vast network of marked snowmobile trails, and a Sea-Doo ride is a classic cottage-country pastime. Even if you never drive one, the J. Armand Bombardier Museum in Valcourt tells the story well. BRP keeps a small Eastern Townships town at the heart of a global industry.
