The 2017 program was successfully launched this past weekend in Langley, BC, where 73 athletes participated. It moves to Prince George, BC, for this weekend, and then on to four other stops in BC in February/March before moving east to Alberta for the month of April. It will also visit Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada.
