Bull Riders, please see below a note from the President and Founder of the Farm Kids Scholarship Fund regarding their events in Barriere, BC:
"Dear Friends,
At the Farm Kids Scholarship Fund, our mandate is to raise funds through the production of events that promote agri-tourism and the western, rural lifestyle. We’ve had two successful events so far with our New Year’s Eve Bullarama and most recently with our Young Guns Bullarama. Our next big project was to be our Summer Stampede on June 22-23. This was to include BRC sanctioned bull riding, along with other sanctioned roughstock events, as the main event. In discussion with our growing sponsorship group, they’ve been happy with our 2 events so far and have asked us to focus on those (New Year’s Eve and Young Guns) with a future plan to an eventual summer event later on. Because of this we won’t be moving forward with our June Summer Stampede this year. Our apologies to the riders we value and love to watch.
We’ve already started planning for our New Year’s Eve event and will be putting forward our sanctioning application for it to Bull Riders Canada. For those of you who were with us for last year’s, expect bigger special effects, larger capacity crowd, and a fully finished facility. For those of you who are planning to buck in the New Year’s with us; it’s going to be A LOT of fun! Check out event videos and keep up to date with us at www.facebook.com/farmkidsfund
I want to personally thank Russell Friend for working with us as we build our fundraising events for the Farm Kids Fund. Russell ‘gets it’ and we look forward to working with him far into the future. Bull Riders Canada is proving that it is the right organization at the right time, with the right commitment to re-build and grow bull riding in Canada. We’re looking forward to be being a part of that.
Steven L. Puhallo
President and Founder

About Us
Many thanks to those Committees who have shown faith and trust in Bull Riders Canada, Inc. by deciding to sanction with our Association in advance of completing our first year; you will not be disappointed! Bull Riders Canada, Inc. also wanted to thank the many Contestants, Stock Contractors and Contract Personnel who have also purchased a membership and decided to take the first step together...what an exciting time!
Just an update to the inaugural press release that was created for the launch of the website back in early February, we are happy to update the following information:
- BRC, Inc. has obtained the volunteer services of a Committee Director located in Manitoba. This Director is passionate about the sport of bull riding in Canada and has accomplished great things which can be confirmed by the amount of interest shown from different stakeholder groups in that area... great job!
- BRC, Inc. is is currently set to pay out at least $95,000.00 (not counting the Finals Event!) within the first year of operations!
Bull Riders Canada, Inc. recognized the importance of working with all levels of stakeholder groups, understanding that we as an industry are stronger if we work to support each other and operate in transparent fashion. While no sanctioning body cannot make or control the decisions made by any one Committee or Promoter, those sanctioning bodies can respect the relationships that have been created and maintained between any Committee and another Association; that is one of the founding principles of BRC, Inc.
BRC Inc. supports local, hometown bull riding venues by providing affordable options to having a bullriding event in their area. BRC Inc. has a tested and proven strategy in place which allows committees to have a bullriding event while maintaining the ability to earn money for their local cause, in turn providing a venue for all other stakeholders to utilize.
Stakeholders of Bull Riders Canada Inc. include: Contestants (riders), Stock Contractors (animals), Contract Acts (Announcers, Judges, Acts, and Bullfighters), and Committees (organizations wishing to hold/host an event and the spectators that attend). Look to our membership page for the application forms.
The venue for the first ever BRC Finals has yet to be determined. An announcement is expected by June of 2013.
For sanctioning information, sponsorship or media inquiries, check out this website for updates or contact the Bull Riders Canada Inc. Office by phone at (403) 935-0036 or by email at secretary@bullriderscanada.ca
