Dubnicoff, a former world champion and Olympic medalist in the women's sprint, joins the Canadian Cycling Association as National BMX Coach.

"I'm excited to be taking on the challenge of building on Canada's current BMX success and taking it to the next level," said Dubnicoff.

Houshang Amiri joins the Canadian Cycling Association as National Cycling Centres Head Coach. He was previously head coach of the Pacific Sport National Cycling Centre in Victoria, British Columbia, and will continue to coach elite athletes there while coordinating access to National Cycling Centre services for our National Team athletes.

Amiri has an extensive background in cycling, competing as a member of the Iranian national team in the 1970s and 1980s.
