“Canada will be well represented at the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games with these outstanding individuals,” said Mathieu Boucher, director of development at the Canadian Cycling Association. “We have a strong program in place at the CCA to ensure the growth and development of commissaires in Canada as they play a critical role in cycling races.”
