Thank you for your comment, Josh. It’s very rare that I hear “owing to” used in the context you described. It certainly isn’t a phrase I use myself. Perhaps I should have written, “…it was canceled because of the rainy weather.”

Nice, but it should be ‘owing to’, not ‘due to’. ‘Due’ is an adjective in that context, so one can say, ‘The cancellation was due to rainy weather’ or ‘It was cancelled owing to rainy weather.’
