Goal: To provide further training for existing provincial-level BMX Commissaires, or those who have taken a course at some point in the past but have not been licensed recently.

Outcome: Commissaires active and licensed in 2006 will be upgraded to provincial “˜B’ status; those not recently active will be licensed with provincial “˜C’ status.

Participants will be asked to work as Commissaires at the Abbotsford Indoor BC Cup held the following weekend in order to undergo practical training and evaluation. This is offered as a chance to practice the skills learned the weekend before, to ask further questions, and receive feedback.

Cost: $65 (includes the cost of a 2007 Commissaire license), or $10 for those with a 2007 racing license or other technical license
