Very ambitious RD out here is also trying to start a bunch of new teams in Alberta. So far there have only been 2 teams West of Ontario for us to choose from out here.

Just received this email confirming the new western Canada event and the date:

Western Canada FRC Regional is looking to recruit existing FRC teams to sign up for the inaugural event.
　
April 4 - 6th (week 6), 2013 at the Olympic Oval in Calgary Alberta

At our event we will have 15-20 Rookie teams, having experienced FRC teams would be an amazing addition to the event.

• $1,500 grant to help cover part of the cost of travel (if needed)
• Subsidized accommodations　and or billeting available
• Less than a 12 hour drive from Washington, Idaho or Oregon to Calgary
• Calgary International Regional Airport is a hub for most airline carriers
• Support a brand new FRC Regional event and provide experienced presence for new FRC teams
• 4 world class ski resorts within a 2 hour drive
• Tons of interesting tourist experiences including a brand new $40 million Science Centre

Invite any inquiries to be directed to…
