In September 2026, multiple charity cycling events commenced in British Columbia to raise funds for childhood cancer research and support programs. The Cops for Cancer Tour de North began on September 11 in Fort St. John, with thirteen riders embarking on an 850-kilometre journey through northern British Columbia scheduled to end in Williams Lake on September 17. Concurrently, the Tour de Rock team began a trek across Vancouver Island on September 19. By September 27, the peloton had surpassed 700 kilometres and raised more than $400,000. Riders reported managing physical exhaustion and the emotional impact of meeting affected families, with paramedic and reserve constable Mary Schidlowsky describing the experience as an “emotional roller coaster.” As the tour approached its conclusion, the team had covered over 910 kilometres, traveling from Port Alice toward Shawnigan Lake. Following a climb over the Malahat, the group moved into the Greater Victoria area for the final stages. At this point, total funds raised for pediatric cancer research reached $425,000. The 29th annual Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock has since concluded in Victoria. A team of 23 cyclists completed the two-week, 1,200-kilometre journey around Vancouver Island. Throughout the expedition, riders engaged with various communities, schools, and businesses to support the Canadian Cancer Society. The tour ultimately raised more than $700,000 for childhood cancer research and support services. The 14-day trek, which included travel through the North Island, Woss, and Qualicum Beach, aimed to highlight the realities faced by families navigating childhood cancer diagnoses.
