Events
Driven To Perform hosts one day events in four of the largest metropolitan areas in Western Canada; usually in the summer, between the months of May and July. These four areas include Vancouver CMA (Surrey), Calgary CMA, Edmonton CMA, Winnipeg CMA, and not coincidentally, three of these are also the fastest growing and only Canadian cities west of Ontario with populations exceeding 1,000,000 persons. They rank 3rd, 5th, 6th and 8th, respectively, in the list of the largest cities in Canada only behind Toronto CMA (Mississauga) (1st), Montreal CMA (Laval) (2nd), Ottawa–Gatineau CMA (4th), and Quebec City CMA (Lévis) (7th).
The shows are open to the public with general admission ticket prices between CAD$15 and $20. Individuals who wish to enter their vehicles into competition at the events must pay a higher registration fee but are typically compensated with complimentary VIP access for themselves. In addition to cars, all DTP shows also feature separate competitions for performance motorbikes, R/C cars, and even a street dance competition for hip-hop dancers.
DTP in Vancouver attracted approximately 12,000 to 12,500 attendees in each year between 2005 and 2006.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“Custom, then, is the great guide of human life. It is that principle alone, which renders our experience useful to us, and makes us expect, for the future, a similar train of events with those which have appeared in the past.”
