YOUR SUPPORT…
… plays a vital role in helping our Alberta World Cup Academy athletes train at the highest level in both Canmore and Calgary, and in ensuring the long-term sustainability of our programs.
With two U23 World Champions and multiple National Team athletes calling the Academy home, it’s clear we’re on the right track. But we can’t continue this journey without the strength of our community — whether you’re based in Thunder Bay, Calgary, or anywhere in between.
Looking ahead to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano, Italy, we are aiming to send several of our Academy athletes to compete on the world stage!
Proceeds from our online auction and generous donations will directly support our athletes as they chase personal bests, earn spots on Team Canada, and reach for the podium at events like the World Junior Championships. A portion of all proceeds will be allocated directly to athlete accounts, helping to keep the dream of racing for Canada accessible and affordable.
Your contributions also help fund key areas of our programs:
-
Race service support — including cutting-edge, fluor-free waxing technology and essential equipment
-
Training resources — such as ski ergometers, treadmills, and performance testing tools
-
Coaching excellence — wages and fees for our dedicated, world-class coaching staff
Together, we can help our athletes reach new heights and proudly represent Canada on the international stage.
