CYCLING CANADA CANCELS LAST EVENT OF THE 2020 SEASON
Ottawa, ON (September 23, 2020) – As a result of continuously evolving public health guidelines, Cycling Canada has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Canadian Track Championships for all age groups, scheduled to take place from November 26-30, 2020. As the last event on the 2020 national calendar, the Canadian Track Championships were expected to host athletes of all categories following the postponement of both Track Championships earlier this year.
“We are disappointed to have to cancel the last event on our 2020 national calendar,” said Mathieu Boucher, Cycling Canada’s Head of Development & Operations. “Although we were hopeful that we would be able to host the track community in Milton before the end of the season, our priority remains the safety of our members and communities. Our team is already hard at work with our organizers and provincial partners to plan an exciting 2021 season.”
Cycling Canada will be releasing its 2021 national calendar for BMX, Cyclo-cross, Para-cycling, Mountain Bike, Road and Track next week. As has been the case since the start of the pandemic, we will continue to operate our events calendar in a manner that supports first and foremost the health and safety of our members and the general public.
