On this week’s episode we get some breaking news from our guest Anne Roy, who is one of the co-founders of the promotion company that will be bringing Formula E to Vancouver over the Canada Day weekend in 2022.

Story continues below

The race weekend will mark a long-awaited return for the open-wheel, all-electric race series which touched down in Canada just once, back in 2017 in Montreal.

As we’ll hear from Anne, Formula E principals and teams are delighted in the news they will be competing on a False Creek circuit that shares many of the same features as the Molson Indy track that hosted some of the best attended race weekends on that series’ calendar from 1990 to 2004.

In addition to the race, the Vancouver stop will include a couple of concerts by big-time performers, and a sustainability conference bringing together some of the world’s leading authorities on cleaning up our world. Anne calls it ‘Ted Talks on steroids.’

And if you want to volunteer for the race weekend, we’ve got that contact information for you too.
