OUR STORY

VOLLEY BORÉAL is an inclusive volleyball club based in Montréal, founded to promote the practice and development of the sport among members and allies of the LGBTQ+ community.

The club values mutual respect, regardless of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnic origin, income, or abilities.

Thanks to the hard work of the transitional committee — supported by two consultative meetings and two special general assemblies — the merger of VOLLEYBALL LAMBDA and LASCAR gave birth to a new non-profit organization: VOLLEY BORÉAL, which officially began its activities on September 22, 2004. The organization was legally incorporated on February 27, 2007.

Since then, the official name of the organization has been: VOLLEY BORÉAL, LGBT volleyball club of Montréal.

Volleyball Lambda, a gay volleyball club focused on competition, was founded in 1982. Beginning in 1983, it hosted the BIG JUMP tournament, often sanctioned by the North American Gay Volleyball Association (NAGVA), and widely attended by participants from the United States.

Lascar, a gay volleyball league centered on participation and the social aspect of the game, began in 1983. Since 1998, it hosted the international tournament L’ODYSSÉE, inspired by the mythological adventures of Ulysses.
