Welcome to World Trials Canada. WTC is proud to be the sanctioning body for the national trials championship of Canada.

Please check our NEWS page for the latest information about the 2011 national championship.

Beginning with the 2009 WEC national championship series (sponsored by Wiesner Insurance), we have been pleased to provide a championship series that is truly national in scope.

WTC has issued the 2011 national championship "Number 1" plates. To see all the plates, please click here.

WTC is inviting clubs and promoters to submit applications to run events in the 2012 WTC national trials series.

There has been some discussion regarding a suitable format for next year's national championships. With the difficulties involved in transportation across our vast country, a suggestion has been floated that there be two championships, which will determine eastern and western champions. So we'd end up with a national champion (east), and a national champion (west). This would not, perhaps, be quite so satisfying, but it would enable each series to be played out over the course of the summer, rather than crammed into a couple of two-trial weekends.

So far, the WTC has been very fortunate, with a good number of competitors making the lengthy trek for both eastern and western rounds . But, with the economy still slow in some parts of the country, this may become more difficult to sustain. This is one area in which the WTC seeks your input.

In the meatime, the WTC really wants to hear from clubs and promoters interested in hosting rounds of next summer's national championships.

Please contact WTC ( ) with your suggestions regarding the 2012 series, or to express an interest in hosting a round of the series.

And don't forget that you are free to discuss this topic on the TrialsCanada forum. If you are not already registered on the forum, please contact

The representatives of the WTC wish to hear from trials riders across Canada regarding any suggestions for rule changes. Dave Rhodes has requested that interested parties should forward their ideas to him at  He will will be happy to take the suggestions to the Trials Committee.

Dave suggests that the two most important topics would seem to be the format for the 2012 National Series, and the class structure at these events. At present the Series has two events in the west and two in the east, but this might not be the most convenient arrangement. Also, the classes need to be determined. For example, in 2011 the national series had a champ class but no expert class in the BC events -- this was because the same top riders compete in the single premier class. This system seemed to work out fine, but maybe some people would like to see changes, so this is your chance to speak up.

Trials on Vancouver Island always have different classes, which are unique to the island clubs. But these are not the same classes used in other parts of BC, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. Please feel free to speak up, and Dave will pass along the information.

The final two rounds of the 2011 national championship were completed at Morin Heights, Quebec on July 16 & 17. Ontario's Jonathan English took the championship with two wins in the series and two second places.

Second place in the championship went to Thomas Cordner of Victoria, BC. There was a tie for third place between Paul-Yvan Bélanger and Daniel Munro, both of Quebec.

The first two rounds of the 2011 national championships were completed at Summerland, BC over the weekend of May 21 & 22.

The leader of the Champ class is Thomas Cordner of Victoria, BC, just one point ahead Jonathan English, of Foxboro, Ontario.

As of February 12th, 2011, the trials division of the WEC will now be recognized as WTC--World Trials Canada. The name change is to reflect the trials section of the WEC as its own entity. The name will represent the global position of trials in Canada while continuing to push the limits of our sport in this country.

Now in its third full year of successfully operating the only truly national championship for many years in Canada, the WTC will continue to be the leader in elevating not only the public image of trials in Canada, but the quality of the events.

The WTC understands that this is the beginning of many exciting announcements regarding the future of trials in Canada, and it remains dedicated to making all aspects of the sport grow.

The WTC is formalizing the announcement of the WTC trials council, which has, in fac, been in place for over three years. The council will be in charge of scheduling and governing the national trials body with the help of the following members: Steve Fracy (Vancouver Island), Dave Rhodes (BC Interior/Okanagan), Craig Parfit Harold Pospisil (Alberta), Sean Weisner (Ontario), Martin Roy and Stephen Fotheringham (Quebec).
