Tour de North 2021
Cops for Cancer Tour de North 2021 is an exciting annual event where law enforcement and emergency services personnel cycle across the coast of BC raising money for childhood cancer research and support services at the Canadian Cancer Society.
While our Cops for Cancer Tours will look and feel different this year, our commitment to the childhood cancer cause has not changed. As we continue to confront the impact of COVID-19, we remain determined to improve the cancer experience by ensuring children with cancer live longer and have the best possible quality of life during the pandemic and beyond.
Why? Because the impact of cancer on the life of a child and their family is devastating. Donations made to the Canadian Cancer Society through Cops for Cancer are used to fund life-saving pediatric cancer research and caring support programs like Camp Goodtimes to reduce its impact.
Tour de North 2021 will be Prince George to Prince Rupert from Friday, September 17th to Thursday, September 23rd.
Day 1: Prince George to Vanderhoof 100 km
Day 2: Vanderhoof to Fort St James/return (120 km) to Fraser Lake 175 km
Day 3: Fraser Lake to Burns Lake 70 km
Day 4: Burns Lake to Smithers 150 km
