Victoria Saanich Cadora Awards updated for 2022
This year, we are offering three one-day dual sanctioned competitions as well as
the Capital City Classic, and the awards criteria have changed changed back to
those in ‘pre-Covid’ years. In 2021 with limited opportunities, competing at the
same level and achieving two scores from two separate judges during the season,
was the criteria for most award eligibility. For 2022, the criteria will revert back to
three scores from three separate judges at the same level.
There are some other changes which are highlighted in blue and include percentage
changes to the Medal Program and to the Beuzelin Family FEI Youth Award; a change
of name to two of the Nominated Annual Awards and the manner of nomination; the
much appreciated Petruik Hunter Memorial Bursary has been retired, as has the
High Point TB Award as it had not been awarded since 2012; and lastly, we are
thrilled to announce two new Annual Training Bursaries donated by Dark Horse Farm
and Eden & Plaxton Veterinary Services.
Enjoy your season at our VSC competitions.

Congrats to all CADORA Inc. award recipients, well done everyone!
Congratulations to all our 2019 award and medal winners!
Hello to all VSC members,
The last competition held early in September meant it was time for year end awards to be calculated and for all awards to be purchased and prepared for our deserving horse and rider combinations to be recognized at our Awards Banquet and AGM being held on November 29th., at the Royal Colwood Golf Club.
The very special part of presenting annual awards is the recognition of those exceptional people who have helped to make the past year truly enjoyable. This includes not only those who have won division or perpetual awards but also the naming of our three 'Member Nominated' perpetual awards intended to recognize members who have gone above and beyond any expectations.
The three awards are:
CIBC RIDE ON AWARD – Members to nominate a rider at any VSC show who handles a problem in or outside the competition arena with ‘exemplary skill, style and tact’. Winners of this award will be determined by the total number of votes. A brief description of the event is requested with the nomination.
CIBC VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR - members to nominate a person who has volunteered for the club and displayed vision, teamwork, tenacity and a positive attitude. A nominee may not have received any remuneration for their services. A brief description of the nominee with the nomination is requested.
MARGOT PARKER MEMORIAL – GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD
Donor: Jill Yonge in memory of her mother Margot
The membership to nominate a person, who they believe has exhibited good sportsmanship during the past year. A brief description of the event or events at which sportsmanship was demonstrated is requested.
For 2018, the member nominated and well deserved recipients were: Evelyn Jancowksi; Jan Rioux and Dawn Parker.
Please think about who you have observed during the year who you believe needs to be recognized by receiving one or more of these awards. Then please let me know by e-mail: sheilaskene@telus.net who the person is and a provide a short description of why you have made the nomination. I'll need the nominations by October 28th., at the latest so that the lovely perpetual trophies can be engraved in good time for November 29th.
Thank-you in advance.

Victoria Saanich CADORA has a new yearly award for junior riders!
Juniors, get your entries in for the CCC and the June show - the late deadline for the June show is this Monday!
Starting this year, junior riders that complete at least 3 tests judged by different judges at any of the VSC shows in 2019, will be entered in a draw for a $100 cash prize. The draw will take place at the AGM and Awards Banquet on November 29th at the Royal Colwood Golf Resort.
In addition, all junior riders that qualify for the draw will receive a certificate for one free test fee at any VSC Horse Council/EC Bronze schooling shows in 2020!
VSC is offering the $100 award from a grant of $500 received from CADORA BC when it was dissolved. VSC hopes to be able to carry on this award permanently.
Congratulations to all of our 2018 Award and Medal winners.
Apologies to Jen and Petra Pinkerton. Your awards have been ordered and as soon as they have been received, embroidery and engraving done, you will receive them as soon as possible.
