Accommodation update for Blairmore, AB


We received an update this week from the organizers of the Blairmore, AB event.  The event will be based at the Crowsnest Center, a convention center near town.  If you have not booked a place to stay yet this is the place to call.  They have about 30 rooms and some camping available at very attractive rates.  Single rooms are $65+tax and double rooms $70+tax.  These are very basic rooms and do not have TVs but there is a common room with TV and Internet hook ups. 

Campsites in the parking area with power (no water) are $20 per night and tent sites on the grass (no power or water) $10 per night.  For campers there is an outside tap at the building to get water and indoors there are washrooms available but no showers. 

If you want to book a room or site please call Dawn at 403-562-7314 or email at dawnrigby@shaw.ca and mention you’re with the World Enduro Canada group.

Parry Sound Update

Important news regarding the Parry Sound round of the Canadian Enduro Championships. 

The Ontario Camp of the Deaf recently received notice from the Township to suspend all motor racing activity on the property.  This property has held Motocross, ATV and Off-Road Truck Racing for years and last year hosted its first Enduro.  It comes down to a zoning issue and the owners of the camp are now negotiating with the township to resolve the issue. 

The Camp was going to host the final round of the CEC and although we are hopeful they will resolve their issues and fully support their fight to regain control over their land, World Enduro Canada has moved ahead to set up the event in another location.  As for the new site for the Parry Sound Grand Prix we will be returning to the great location east of Parry Sound that was the focal point of the two World Championship rounds in 06 & 07.  This is a spectacular property, with a wide variety of terrain making it a challenge for the competitors and exciting for spectators.   Riders will now be able to ride the same trails and tackle some of the same special tests that the World Champions rode. 

 In closing we would like to ask everyone to take a few minutes to send a letter to Mayor Conn of Sequin township to let him know how much off road motorcycles can contribute to his communities economy by allowing competition events at the Camp of the Deaf.  The Camp with all its facilities, MX tracks, varied terrain and the huge potential for an extensive trail system is something we need in Ontario.  With public land getting harder to obtain permission to ride on having a large property like the Camp of the Deaf with owners who openly embrace off road racing is too important to let slip away.

Form letters do little in these situations so send off a short, polite letter to Mayor Conn to express your thoughts.  I should point out the Mayor is a nice guy that really enjoyed seeing the World Enduro Championships in Parry Sound.  We are hopefully he will understand our point of view and help the Camp to gain the zoning required to resume its racing activities.
