2016 Great Canadian Cheese Rolling Festival

Wheeling back in to Whistler on August 20th, the Great Canadian Cheese Rolling Festival is set to celebrate the ninth installment of this fun-hearted, cheese-chasing extravaganza.

Dairy Farmers of Canada has once again proudly partnered with B.C. local and Vancouver Aquarium’s Ocean Wise Executive Chef Ned Bell to cultivate and share recipes showcasing Canadian cheeses, inspired by the Festival.

The Festival will see costume-clad, cheese-loving Canadians chasing an 11-pound wheel of British Columbia-produced Aged Farmhouse Cheddar cheese down the slopes of Blackcomb Mountain. The first male and female contestant to cross the finish line will be rewarded with one of the coveted wheels of Canadian cheese and two Whistler Blackcomb season ski passes.
