“The 2024 season is set to offer another year of exciting Canadian Championships taking place throughout the nation,” Cycling Canada events and officials manager, Jolène Dupuis said. “These events allow us to celebrate not only our phenomenal homegrown talent but also the wider cycling community, from the local organizers, volunteers and officials who make these events possible to the family and fans who come out in full force to create an inspiring competition atmosphere. We’re very excited to set the stage for another class of champions to earn their spotlight next year.”

On February 10-11, the Canadian e-sports championships will take place. This particular event stands out on the calendar as it provides exceptional accessibility due to its virtual nature.
