As the National Sport Organization for Sport Climbing in Canada, Climbing Escalade Canada (CEC) is responsible for identifying, selecting, and supporting athletes with the highest potential for success on the international stage. The mission of the National Team Program is to set a high standard for performance, fostering an environment that promotes excellence, competitiveness and well-being.
The National Team (NT) Program is aligned with CEC’s mission to support and elevate Canadian competition climbers and paraclimbers in achieving excellence, and to lead the development of a high-performance system that enables success at the highest levels ofsport, including at the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The NT Program also aligns with the strategic objectives of our key funding partners, including Sport Canada, the Canadian Olympic Committee (COC), and Own the Podium (OTP). This alignment provides athletes with the opportunities they need to excel while fostering a robust development pipeline for the future of Canadian Sport Climbing.
The objective of the National Team Program is to achieve and sustain podium results at upcoming and subsequent Olympic Games and World Championships. Participating in other international competitions is integral to athlete and program development and helps achieve this objective. Performance at these events is a significant achievement, but the primary objective is to deliver results at the Olympic Games and World Championships.
