Burnaby Six Day Postponed
It is with great disappointment that the 2009 and fourth edition of the
Burnaby Six Day along with the UCI Burnaby New Year Challenge must be
postponed until a later date in 2010. This is the second year of
postponement and is due to funding issues at this time. A Sport Canada
Hosting grant was applied for, for the December 28 to January 2 event,
but as of October 15, 2009 there has been no guarantee of how much of
the grant would be received and at what time. As the host organizer the
Burnaby Velodrome Club (BVC) cannot commit financially to pushing ahead
without the support of this grant. I would like to thank the Canadian
Cycling Association for their push to get this event registered as a UCI
event and for giving priority and a strong recommendation in submitting
the grant application on behalf of the BVC to Sport Canada. The BVC will
endeavour to hold this event on a new date and continue the progression
of the race from the grassroots event that was held in 2005 to the
European style Six Day event of 2007.
