December 21, 2012 (Vancouver, B.C.) – Pedal has learned from reliable sources that unofficially, Wayne Pomario, President of the Cycling BC Board, has resigned. His resignation comes in the wake of a controversial few months within the organization, ignited by the dismissal of coach Richard Wooles by CEO Keith Ryan in October.

Wooles has since filed a wrongful dismissal with the Supreme Court of B.C. and Ryan has been on vacation/leave since the end of November. Read more about Wooles’ suit HERE. Unconfirmed reports also state that the organization is in massive financial debt in excess of $250,000 after hosting the BMX Supercross event in Abbotsford in September. Read more HERE.

Cycling BC’s recent AGM saw a record number of members attend the AGM on Dec. 2 and elect four new candidates to the board. All of the new board members subscribe to the Future of Cycling in B.C. group’s slate. The group was formed as a result of members’ discontent with the organization and its mandate is to affect positive change for cycling in the province. Find out more HERE.
