Sept 13, 2017 - The CPRA received notice that Edmonton City Council decided on a permanent closure of the Coliseum effective January 1, 2018. While we are disappointed in the news, the CPRA is focusing on a strong finish to the year for our members and will look forward to celebrating the 44th Canadian Finals Rodeo November 8-12 in the Coliseum. We know there is a path forward and we will continue conversations that serve the best interests of our members and the sport of rodeo.
