Does MECIR renewals mean no more BFRs?

[training wheels]

Just wondering whether doing MECIR renewals every 12 months mean you on longer need to do BFRs every 24 months?

in a word, yes

Training Wheels,

having just loaded my 5 logbooks into an electronic program and having reflected on the contents, I have only 1 flight logged as a "Biennial Flight Review". I got my MECIR just after that and am about to put myself up for my 23rd renewal (and I'm not in any airline or under a 217 org). This along with my instructor rating and lots of endorsements means that I will probably retire (not for a while yet) with that one BFR in the logbook.

Correct.

CAR 5.108

2 years immediately before the day of the proposed flight:

(b) satisfactorily completed an aeroplane proficiency check;
or
(c) satisfactorily completed aeroplane conversion training
