Canadian Rockies Regional Update

It is with the utmost regret that we have to announce that the Canadian Rockies Regional has been cancelled for the 2022 season. This is due to the uncertainty of the current COVID-19 situation in Alberta. At this time we can not safely run an event under the Alberta Covid legislation. Due to the extensive planning and costs for both the teams and FIRST Alberta, we don’t want to plan anything at the significant risk of it being cancelled last minute.

For any teams interested in continuing the 2022 FRC season FIRST will be individually reaching out to you to update your event preferencing. For any teams that would be interested in partaking in a virtual FTC event, FIRST AB would like to invite you to contact info@ftcalberta.ca for any assistance you may need changing events.

We wish all teams the best of luck in the future and look forward to seeing you in 2023
