The city of Cold Lake is temporarily granting extra land to the Cold Lake Motocross Association to support the upcoming Canadian Triple Crown Series Motocross Event, which runs from June 6 to 9.
“This is going to be a huge, national-sized and televised event,” said Mayor Craig Copeland. “We’re expecting to see racers, teams, and spectators from across North America coming to our community.”
Organizers are anticipating more than 2,000 people to attend. To accommodate more visitors and vehicle traffic, the city has approved the use of land west of the existing motocross track, near the site of the future Public Works building, for temporary camping, parking, and staging for semi-trucks and trailers.
“This helps solidify Cold Lake as a great place to host these large-scale events,” Copeland said. “It’s a huge boom to our economy and tourism exposure. I hope our community will take advantage of having this calibre of event right here in our back yard and come out in support.”
