Pro Rodeo Canada also works with the American sanctioning organization, Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. Obviously, rodeo participants are the highest in the forefront of any organization, but Pro Rodeo Canada also consists of all of the other usual rodeo personnel, such as stock contractors, judges, announcers, bull fighters, and others. Last years and all previous years the CFR was held at the Northlands Coliseum in Edmonton, Alberta. This year the 45th Annual Canadian Finals Rodeo (CFR) will be held at the ENMAX Centrium, Westerner Park, in Red Deer, Alberta. The ability to secure this arena demonstrates that the rodeo still has a strong fan base and high growth rate. The CFR had to move when it was announced that the city of Edmonton was going to close the Northlands Coliseum down. Previously, the finals were held at the Northlands Coliseum in Edmonton, Alberta, for its entire 44-year history. After announcing a new venue for the year 2018, the Canadian Finals Rodeo takes place in Red Deer, Alberta, on October 30 through November 4. The CFR is the ultimate event of the tour. Throughout Canada, it is considered the top national championship of professional rodeo, and starting in 2018, it will be held annually in Red Deer, Alberta. The CFR's top award amount is one of the largest in Canadian rodeo, totaling $1.65 million. The top 12 competitors from the sanctioned events are selected for the CFR each year. The CFR runs for six days each season. FloRodeo will, beginning in 2018, capture top athletes competing in those six rounds of the 7 events. FloRodeo will also capture the 7 event champions, a high-point, and an all-around cowboy champion. “We’re excited about broadening our reach through our new partnership with FloSports,” said Canadian Professional Rodeo Association General Manager Jeff Robson. “The opportunity to live stream the Finning Canada Pro Tour rodeos and both our finals – the Grass Roots Final and the Canadian Finals Rodeo – will provide welcome exposure for our sport and expand access for our fans." Annually, the rodeo features one of the nation's largest prize purses—$1.65 million—and accepts the top 12 money-earners from the CPRA rodeo season. Over six days, FloRodeo will capture some of rodeo's top athletes competing through six rounds to determine each of the seven event winners, a high-point, and an all-around champion.
