The 2027 call for CPRA Rule Changes is now open.
Please send proposed rule changes to The Competition and Rules Liaison, Doug Goodine at competition@rodeocanada.com or your event representative prior to 4:00 pm July 3rd. Submitted rule changes should be presented fully formed and should flag the current location (page number) in the rulebook if modifying an existing rule.
The CPRA Rules committee will meet in late July to suggest rule changes and additions to the CPRA Board of Directors. The Board of Directors will ultimately consider the recommendations from the Rules committee and pass any rules they see as being in the best interest of the sport of rodeo in Canada.
New rules / rule changes will be posted on the CPRA website and members’ portal after being passed by the Board of Directors to offer an opportunity for the membership to provide feedback on new / adjusted rules and, if deemed necessary by the Board, rule changes can be reevaluated post feedback. All rules will be implemented for the start of the 2027 Rodeo season unless feedback warrants delay or adjustment.
* Approved rules will be in effect for the start of the 2027 season which begins at Hanna and Olds Rodeos after Labor Day in Sept, 2026).
