The day after the Mountain Bike World Championships, the focus shifted to Quebec City for the Canadian Cycling Association Annual General Meeting.  On Monday evening the President's Reception was held for the provinces, CCA Board and Committees to mingle.  Normally, the CCA presents all their awards at the AGM, but because the AGM was held prior to the end of the season, due the the MTB Worlds, the only award presented was the Torchy Peden award to Quebec as the top province, for holding two world championships in one year - Para-Cycling and MTB.
