Big White Winter Rally
Big White Mountain Kelowna, BC, Canada

Yup. We've hit a bump in the road, but we've got a plan in place to deal with it! But, we need feedback from the competitors. CARS has rightfully decided to ca...ncel the 2020 Canadian Rally Championship. But, based on today’s situation, we are confident that we can continue with Rocky as a performance stage rally with about 138 stage km while maintaining a safe, socially distanced environment for everyone. We want to hear from the competitors about our decision and your intentions to enter the event. We need to be confident that the adjusted event will draw enough entries to be viable. If you are entering, or normally would have, please fill out the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PYBJ69T

In light of the current BC health restrictions relating to Covid-19, the Big White Winter Rally organizing committee has regrettably decided to cancel this year’s event. Current BCCDC guidelines have imposed a limit of 50 people maximum at any event. This, paired with the current border closure, severely limits our ability to move forward with this event safely, while upholding the integrity of the Big White Winter Rally. We have explored alternative options, such as shorten...ing the schedule to reduce the duration of contact, reducing the amount of shared volunteer accommodation, moving all meetings to online, limiting access to the service park, limiting numbers at each spectator point or possibly eliminating them entirely, eliminating the finish party/awards banquet, and other measures. After careful consideration, the organizing committee feels that there is no foreseeable way of successfully navigating the intricacies of a winter event, in such a cold climate, in a way that keeps our competitors and volunteers safe. As such, we will look forward to the upcoming 2021 season and focus our energy on making next year better than ever. We appreciate your understanding through these challenging times and hope to see you all next year. - Big White Winter Rally Organising Committee À la lumière des restrictions actuelles de la Colombie britannique en matière de santé en ce qui concerne la Covid-19, le comité organisateur du Big White Winter Rally a décidé à regret d’annuler l’édition de cette année. Les directives actuelles de la BCCDC imposent une limite de 50 personnes pour quelque événement que ce soit. Cette mesure, ajoutée à celle de la fermeture de nos frontières, restreint sévèrement notre aptitude à présenter cette édition en toute sécurité, tout en respectant l’intégrité du Big White Winter Rally. Nous avons exploré diverses alternatives, comme réduire l’horaire pour réduire la durée des contacts, diminuer le partage des chambres de nos bénévoles, tenir toutes les réunions en ligne, limiter l’accès aux parcs d’assistance, limiter le nombre de spectateurs à toutes les aires de spectateurs ou les éliminer complètement, éliminer la fête de fin du rallye et la remise des prix, et d’autres mesures. Après une réflexion exhaustive, le comité organisateur est d’avis qu’il n’y a aucune façon gagnante de naviguer à travers toutes les embûches d’un rallye d’hiver, dans un climat comme le nôtre, tout en assurant la sécurité des compétiteurs et des bénévoles. C’est pourquoi nous allons dorénavant nous tourner vers la saison 2021 et concentrer toute notre énergie à faire de la prochaine édition la meilleure que nous aurons jamais tenue. Nous sommes persuadés que vous comprenez et nous espérons tous vous revoir l’an prochain. Le comité organisateur du Big White

A tough, but right call by our sister event the Pacific Forest Rally. We're still working with the resort and making plans for our early December event... fingers crossed we'll see some improvement by then!
