If you make a week of it, on your way back along Hwy 20 you can
catch the legendary Anahim Lake Stampede, July 7 & 8, one
of the wildest and woolliest rodeos in the West.
In July and August there are BCRA rodeos in every region
of the Province including two great little Rodeos on Vancouver
Island and BC's biggest Semi Pro rodeo in Quesnel.
The British Columbia Rodeo Assn. sanctions more than two-dozen
rodeos each year in the Province. We are proud of the job we
do in presenting the sport of rodeo. We work hard to preserve
our Western Heritage and safeguard the welfare of the contestants
and livestock. We have stringent rules in place to prevent any
mistreatment of the animals involved. The rules of rodeo have
been developed in close consultation with the SPCA and other
organizations, and their scrutiny is welcomed at all our events.
Rodeo is part of our ranching heritage, one of our provinces most
popular tourism products and a major economic driving force in rural
communities throughout BC. The BC Rodeo Assn. is a non-profit
society that promotes and sanctions regional and semi professional
rodeos throughout the province.
