For those of you that don't know, the Canadian BMX Association will no longer be in operation as of December 31st, 2002. Earlier this spring Cycling BC and the Canadian BMX Association reached an agreement. Please see the following press release that was released on the CBA's website earlier this year, http://www.canadianbmx.com/. The CBA is very pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached with the Canadian Cycling Association to integrate their operations with the CCA's provincial associations.

There will be an initial transitional period for the remainder of 2002, in which the CBA will continue their operations in conjunction with the Provincial Organizations. The CBA will dissolve its operation as of December 3 1st, 2002, by which time the Provincial Associations will have formed Provincial BMX committees to operate the BMX Divisions as of January 1, 2003. Cycling BC is pleased to immediately start working with the CBA and the RABC to ensure a smooth transition for the BMX riders and tracks into the Provincial Association. Cycling BC has requested that the RABC (Racing Association of British Columbia) form BC's BMX committee, and appoint a representative to be added to the Cycling BC Board as the Vice President-BMX. The CBA is looking forward to establishing a smooth transition with the Alberta and Saskatchewan Cycling Associations, with the help of the Alberta BMX Association, and the CCA Development Committee.

-Chuck Simonin, President-CBA
-Tom Fawsitt, Executive Director-Cycling BC
