CEC is excited to introduce a new initiative that aims to support the talented athletes on our Senior (17+) National and Provincial/Territorial teams. Training at the highest level requires immense dedication, but it also comes with significant financial challenges. To help alleviate some of this burden, we are launching the National Climbing Gym Network, a program designed to provide these athletes with access to the facilities they need to continue their development.
The National Climbing Gym Network is an optional program that invites Canadian gyms to sign up and offer free access to Senior National and Provincial/Territorial team athletes. By participating, climbing facilities will be directly contributing to the success of these athletes, ensuring they have the resources and space to train without the added worry of funding.
How It Works:
- Climbing Gyms that join the network will offer complimentary access to registered Senior National and Provincial/Territorial team athletes.
- CEC will provide the list of Senior National and Provincial/Territorial team athletes on an annual basis.
- Athletes will present their credentials upon arrival, allowing them to use the facility at no cost.
- Participating gyms will be recognized as official supporters of our Senior National and Provincial/Territorial teams, with opportunities for collaboration and promotion within our community.
We understand that this is a generous commitment, and we deeply appreciate our industry partners. Theirsupport will play a crucial role in the development of our athletes, enabling them to focus on reaching their full potential on the national and international stage.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of our athletes and the future of climbing in Canada!
