BMX Canada Partnership
Cycling BC is excited to announce a partnership with BMX Canada aimed at uniting and strengthening the sport of BMX racing in British Columbia.
The reciprocal partnership aims to create opportunities for athletes and tracks to share knowledge, access events, and participate in athlete and coach development programs.
BMX Canada and Cycling BC partnership highlights:
- All tracks can dual-affiliate
- Access to KidSport and viaSport grants
- Access to host BMX Canada and Cycling BC Events
- Access to resources & experiences for coaches and athletes
Partnership Agreement
This partnership aims to connect our community, strengthen the quality of instructor and coach education across the province, and provide opportunities for future partnerships. With the accreditation of BMX as an Olympic event in the 2000s and the subsequent affiliation of most BC-based tracks with BMX Canada, this new partnership aims to move forward together, creating an exciting opportunity for all North American BMX athletes ahead of the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
Starting July 2025, we are happy to announce the following exchange of services to benefit families, facilities, and community leaders:
1) All BMX Canada-affiliated tracks in British Columbia are permitted to dual-affiliate with BMX Canada and Cycling BC
- BMX Canada is covering the annual affiliation cost.
- Clubs can apply for ViaSport grants.
- Clubs can bid to host a Provincial, National, or Canada Cup Championship event.
- Clubs remain insured by their existing primary insurer, either BMX Canada or Cycling BC.
2) All BMX athletes and families can now access:
- Single-Event Licenses to participate in Challenge categories at Cycling BC Provincials.
- KidSport funding ($400-$700) with an active Cycling BC annual membership.
3) Cycling BC and BMX Canada work in tandem to revise instructor training materials for use in British Columbia.

- We also invite you to contact us about a bid to host a 2026 Provincial Championship or Canada Cup event, or in-person educational experiences for your athletes or coaches.
For Cycling BC Club Presidents:
- No action is required at this time
- Tracks are invited to contact BMX Canada about the benefits of dual-affiliation (no annual fee) to reduce barriers for youth to participate in development camps/programs and invite these tracks to host a BMX Canada Provincial Series event.
- This is contingent upon achieving “active status” with the BMX Canada insurance program by hosting at least 10 single-point events.
For current BMX Canada members:
- Once your club portal is active, visit our ‘Find a Club’ page and select your club’s ‘Reg Portal’ to update an existing UCI Race license.
