In addition the Director approved September 1 as a make-up date for Rideau Carleton Raceway.

During the 2013-2014 period, RCR cancelled two race dates, Jan. 14 and March 20, where no races were run due to unsafe track conditions. The Transfer Payment Agreement with government allows for one cancellation during the period of the contract, leaving one cancelled race date that RCR had to make up.
