A Little About Us
George Sutcliffe was a professional rodeo calf roper in the 1950's, Also a runner-up Canadian Champion, George was heavily involved with his community particularly the rodeo activities at the Agriplex. As a valued member of the Board of Directors, his presence was always felt in all the rodeo events held at the Agriplex.
In 1989, George passed away from a heart attack; he is greatly missed by his family and friends. In memory of his father, Daryl Sutcliffe formed a committee and launched the first George Sutcliffe Memorial Calf Roping event in 1999. Now an annual event and the largest calf roping in Canadian history, the George Sutcliffe Memorial Calf Roping draws tremendous attention throughout the sport of rodeo both in Canada and the US.
