The CCOC may appoint a Technical Delegate to any competition on the National Calendar. Under the 2026 Companion Guide, the Technical Delegate:

evaluates whether the organization of the national competition conforms to the regulations and the terms of reference for organizers
may attend the competition to do this, and the organizer must provide a pass for free access plus an accreditation plate for the delegate's vehicle, giving entry to reserved parking at the start and finish and permission to drive on the event route
draws up a detailed evaluation report of the event, a copy of which goes to the organizer
may inspect the route beforehand, paying particular attention to safety issues and the danger points the organizer has indicated, and reports to Cycling Canada administration
is consulted, where one has been appointed, on race procedures for national races
