CANADIAN FINALS RODEO.
With three sons competing professionally, CPRA President, Murry
Milan knows all too well what a long
haul it is for contestants to qualify
for the marquee event, and he enjoys
cheering on competitors in their pursuit of one of the top 12 spots.
“The CFR is something contestants
look forward to each year and there
are just a few rodeos left to qualify.
This time of year is very exciting for
us at the CPRA and we wish every

member the best of luck in qualifying for the 43rd annual CFR and look
forward to seeing who those top 12
contestants may be,” said Milan.
Milan and others at the CPRA
have been working closely with the
team at Northlands to prepare for the
Finals, and excitement is building
among organizers as well.
“Northlands is proud to have
been home to the CFR for the past
42 years,” commented Tim Reid
President & CEO of Northlands.
“Combined with Farmfair
International, it’s one of the greatest
events in the city of Edmonton. We
look forward to seeing everyone this
fall as we celebrate the best rodeo has
to offer and the athletes who come to
compete.”
