Please join the MCA in congratulating chief commissaire, Arlene Woodcock who has completed her Provincial Road Commissaries training in Vancouver, BC earlier this month.

Officials are the backbone of a bicycle race, and often the first representative that a rider meets. The basic categories for road officials start with level C. From there, an official can upgrade to level B, level A, National Commissaire, and International Commissarie.

Why is a Provincial trainer important for our Road & Cross Community ?

-there is now a local trainer that can license commissaries in the Province (there will no longer be a need to fly in a trainer in from out of province).

-Developing commissaires will have ongoing, practical support from one trainer.

-As more Commissaires are developed locally there will be a greater capacity to support more road races in Manitoba.

If you’re interested in becoming an official, you’ll need to attend a Level C course, and purchase an official’s license. For more information on this process, please call the MCA office at 204-925-5686.
