BRP Yellow Day 2026: Wear Yellow on November 5 to Ride Out Intimidation and Help End Bullying

Published on: Nov 1, 2026

BRP Yellow Day is on Thursday, November 5, 2026, and everyone is invited to wear yellow to stand up against bullying. To take part, wear yellow on November 5 and share a public photo on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn with the hashtag #RideOutIntimidation. Yellow Day is part of BRP's Ride Out Intimidation program, and BRP supports anti-bullying organizations around the world through it, including two Canadian charities this year. BRP says it contributed more than CA$307,590 to these organizations last year and plans an even greater contribution in 2026.

If you ride a Ski-Doo, you probably already own something yellow. It's the colour of the trail, the colour on the hood of thousands of sleds across Ontario, and the colour BRP has chosen for a much bigger cause. On November 5, that yellow jacket, hoodie or toque becomes a simple way to tell a kid, a coworker or a neighbour that they're not alone.

Bullying doesn't stay in the schoolyard. It shows up online, in workplaces and in communities, including the riding community we're proud to be part of. Riding clubs, trail volunteers and dealership teams across Ontario are built on looking out for each other, whether that's stopping to help a stranded sled or making a new rider feel welcome on their first group ride. Yellow Day takes that same spirit and points it at something that affects far too many people.

This guide explains what BRP Yellow Day is, how to take part on November 5, who this year's beneficiaries are and where to find support. It also covers Canada's other anti-bullying dates and ideas for showing your colours in your favourite Ski-Doo clothing or Can-Am riding gear.

What Is BRP Yellow Day?

BRP Yellow Day is an annual day when BRP invites employees, dealers, riders and partners worldwide to wear yellow and share their commitment to ending bullying on social media. According to BRP, Yellow Day is its way of creating the momentum to put an end to bullying, and BRP backs the day with financial contributions to anti-bullying organizations in the regions where it operates.

Yellow Day is the most visible part of BRP's Ride Out Intimidation program. BRP describes the program's goal as building a world where everyone feels safe, respected and valued, with three focus areas:

Youth in schools. Supporting programs that help children and teens who experience bullying.
Marginalized communities. Uplifting groups who are more often targets of intimidation.
Safe, respectful workplaces. Recognizing that bullying doesn't end when school does.

The 2025 edition, held on November 20, 2025, was BRP's fourth annual Yellow Day. BRP reported that more than 6,000 employees, dealers, ambassadors and partners took part, and that it has invested more than CAD $10 million in charitable contributions through Ride Out Intimidation since 2022.

How Do You Take Part in BRP Yellow Day on November 5?

You take part in BRP Yellow Day by wearing yellow on November 5, 2026, and sharing a public photo of yourself in yellow on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn with the hashtag #RideOutIntimidation. BRP has tied its Yellow Day donations to these public posts, and in 2025 it pledged a donation for each public post featuring participants in yellow with the hashtag.

Wear yellow on Thursday, November 5. A jacket, hoodie, hat, scarf, socks or a full riding suit all count.
Take a photo. Solo, with your family, your riding group, your classroom or your coworkers.
Post it publicly. Share it on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn. BRP specifies public posts.
Use the hashtag #RideOutIntimidation. That's how your post gets counted and found.
Be creative and authentic. BRP encourages people not to be afraid to have fun with it.

Ideas for Riders, Families, Schools and Workplaces

BRP Yellow Day works best when groups join in together, because one photo of 20 people in yellow sends a powerful message.

Riders and clubs. Snap a group photo in your yellow Ski-Doo jackets, or line up your yellow sleds and machines in the driveway or at the clubhouse.
Families. Dress the kids in yellow for school and talk with them about what bullying looks like and what to do if they see it.
Schools and teams. Make November 5 a yellow day for the class, team or club, and use it to kick off Bullying Awareness and Prevention Week a week and a half later.
Workplaces. Invite coworkers to wear yellow and take a team photo. BRP's program specifically includes respectful workplaces.

If you share your photo, tag us and use #RideOutIntimidation so we can cheer you on.

Who Do BRP's Yellow Day Donations Support?

How Can Riders Show Their Colours on Yellow Day?

Riders can show their colours on Yellow Day by wearing their yellow riding gear, lining up their yellow machines for a photo, or picking up a yellow piece to wear all season. Yellow has been a signature colour for Ski-Doo for decades, so plenty of riders already have something in the closet.

Helmets and accessories. A bright helmet or goggle strap is an easy add. See our snowmobile helmets.
Off-road and summer riders. Can-Am and Sea-Doo riders can find options in our Can-Am riding gear.
Your machine. A yellow Ski-Doo, Can-Am or Sea-Doo in the background makes a great Yellow Day photo.

2027 Can-Am Defender Lineup: Best Side-by-Sides for Work and Trail in Ontario

Oct 29, 2026

The 2027 Can-Am Defender lineup centres on two big changes: the new Defender XU, which comes with a Headache Rack, bed extender, LinQ tool holders and hitch ball mount installed at the factory, and a redesigned second-generation HD10 with a new 80 hp Rotax triple-cylinder engine. The 95 hp HD11 returns as the flagship, and the HD7 and HD9 continue as affordable work machines. The six-seat Defender MAX and long-bed Defender PRO round out the lineup. Second-generation models get a new 5-inch colour display, and Limited, X mr and Lone Star models add a 10.25-inch touch screen with BRP GO! navigation and over-the-air updates. The guide explains what makes a good utility side-by-side and how Ontario owners use the Defender on farms, cottages, hunting land and through the winter. It also offers a practical framework for choosing an engine and package, from Base and DPS up to Limited, Lone Star, X mr and XU. Owners will find advice on Can-Am clothing and riding gear, Ontario’s off-road vehicle rules, and a fall and winter maintenance checklist. A dedicated section covers choosing a Can-Am ProMount plow and snow plow kit, followed by recommended accessories and packages for farm, winter, cottage, hunting and mud use. The blog closes with Defender ownership around Oakville, Collingwood and Grey County, a detailed FAQ, and contact details for both Energy Powersports locations, where Can-Am Defender accessories and Can-Am parts in Canada can be ordered online.

Top-Rated 2027 Snowmobiles for Trail Riding: Best Ski-Doo and Lynx Trail Sleds for Ontario

Oct 20, 2026

Choosing the right 2027 snowmobile for Ontario trail riding comes down to how fast you ride, how far you go in a day, whether you ride two-up, and how often you leave the groomed trail. BRP introduced the 2027 Ski-Doo lineup on February 17, 2026, with a new Rotax 600RR E-TEC engine, 20th Anniversary X-RS editions on the MXZ, Renegade and Backcountry, 20 years of the Lynx Rave, a more affordable Expedition LE, and the return of the Grand Touring. Good trail sleds use shorter 129- to 137-inch tracks with low lugs, strong bump-absorbing suspension, a wide ski stance and comfort features like heated grips and a good windshield. The Ski-Doo MXZ and Lynx Rave RE suit aggressive sport riders, the Renegade is the best all-around pick for long days, the Grand Touring is the top two-up sled, the Expedition adds deep snow and utility capability, the Backcountry and Lynx Commander handle trail-plus riding, and the MXZ Neo+ is ideal for beginners. Two-stroke E-TEC engines are lighter and more responsive, while four-stroke ACE engines are quieter and more fuel efficient. Riders should dress in layers with a windproof shell, insulated gloves and boots, a balaclava and a DOT-approved heated-visor helmet, and carry a spare belt, tool kit, tow strap, survival kit and ice picks. Stay safe by watching your speed, keeping right on corners, stopping at road crossings, avoiding thin ice and never riding impaired. Before the season, change the oil and chaincase oil, check the belt, carbides, track, slides and battery, and book service early. Useful accessories include handguards, windshields, heated grips, ice scratchers and tool-free LinQ bags, fuel caddies and cargo boxes. Riding OFSC trails requires a valid trail permit, registration and insurance, so check trail status before every ride. Energy Powersports in Oakville and Collingwood offers 2027 Ski-Doo and Lynx sales, service, parts, gear and financing to help riders get trail ready.
