Edmonton Takes Action Against Canadian Snowboard Federation

14th June 2026

In 2023 the Canadian Snowboard Federation held the FIS Snowboard Big Air World Cup at the city’s Commonwealth Stadium.

Edmonton has filed suit against the federation and alleges it has missed multiple payment deadlines.

Edmonton charged the federation $139,000 (£74,087) to use the stadium.

This included a rental fee, electricity, and IT support, locker room services and security for the event.

 So far it says it has only received $20,000 (£10,660).

The Canadian Snowboard Federation is the sport’s not-for-profit governing body in Canada.

It coordinates with the International Ski and Snowboard Federation for hosting events, building teams, and structuring competition.

The unpaid bill is being seen as a warning sign of the federation’s financial health.

Despite filing the legal suit Edmonton says it is “open to discussing a repayment plan to resolve the debt,” according to CBC
