Abstract :Times of minima of the contact binary BO Canum Venaticorum insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BO CVn); were collected from the literatüre and two new times of secondary minima were determined from the new observations obtained at the Ankara University Observatory. An insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(O-C); analysis based on the ali available times of minima yields a constant orbital period över the last 14 years instead of a period increase mentioned in the recent literatüre. We commend the future observations of BO CVn to solve the period problem of the system.
