Has anyone attended the BC Overladn Rally? If , good or no good?
live in Edmonton and the distance betweent the Whistler even and the Plain, WA event are almost the same, wondering if anyone has feedback to help decide if this is something I should look into.

Been to both, I'd say the NWOR was better attended by both vendors and people (more "big name" overlander types attend the NWOR it seems, for what it's worth). It may not be a totally fair comparison as it poured rain throughout most of the BCOR at Whistler which seemed to keep people away. We've been to 2 BCOR rallies and 1 NWOR now. (We live in the Okanagan so travle time is pretty much the same for us too). If we go again next year, we'll go to the NWOR I think.

I know this is a little late as this was posted in 2019.
The BCOR is a good event, if you have the choice to go to the NWOR...it is a larger event and not that much further from Edmonton.
I have been to both and really enjoyed them and encourage you to go if you have not.
It inspired me to also create the Alberta Outdoor Adventure Expo in 2021.
