Many were saddened by the news earlier this year regarding the Canadian Finals Rodeo being relocated to Saskatoon in 2017.

However, the official announcement made on Wednesday, October 19, by the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association and Edmonton Northlands made many people very happy.

The Canadian Finals Rodeo will be staying at the Northlands Coliseum until 2018.

The CPRA and Edmonton Northlands are continuing to work out the details within the contract.

Competitors, fans, associates, and partners are all thrilled by the announcement, especially when this year's CFR is only 21 days away.

More information can be found on the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association website.
