Olds College Spring Rodeo Cancelled
The Olds College Spring Rodeo, scheduled for March 7-8, has been cancelled due to a sudden resignation and additional animal care requirements as part of the College’s Animal Use Protocol. Given the timing of both of these, Olds College has decided to cancel the event.
The final confirmation to be able to host the rodeo under these circumstances wouldn't have been made with certainty until mid next week; therefore, we have chosen to make a decision now so our competitors and vendors would be left with the most time we can offer at this point to adjust their plans.
As an institution, we're disappointed to cancel the Spring Rodeo knowing the impacts this has on the student athletes, coaches, family members and friends that were planning to compete and attend the upcoming rodeo on campus.
The cancellation of the Spring Rodeo is of no fault of the student athletes. Olds College takes full responsibility for this disruption and is committed to improving the program supporting the athletes that represent the College so well.
The College is aware of the contributions that the rodeo program makes within the community, and also recognizes the complexities of operating a successful college-sponsored rodeo program on campus.
Broncos Athletics will be working with the Canadian Collegiate Rodeo Association (CCRA) to determine if the event can be rescheduled. Any updates related to the schedule will be posted to gobroncos.ca.
Broncos Athletics and the College community appreciate your patience as we navigate this cancellation and support our Rodeo Team for the remainder of the season and into next year.
