FALKLAND, B.C. — Despite having secured late August dates for the 2021 Falkland Stampede, the event will not be going ahead.

The Falkland Community Association had hoped to run the popular rodeo August 27 to 29.

“Though the current state of this pandemic is moving in a positive direction, the expected provincial health orders come August will not allow for a large scale event such as the stampede to occur,” the group stated on the Falkland Stampede Facebook page.

“The Falkland Community Association has exhausted all avenues and it is in the best interest of all that we postpone the stampede to May 2022.”

The stampede is one of the oldest rodeos in Canada and was also cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic.
