The Calgary Wheelchair Curling Association (CWCA)
is a non-profit organization, started in 2005 by a few people in wheelchairs
wanting to get back to a game they played prior to using a wheelchair. From
that vision and determination, the CWCA was born and has continued to grow in
membership and awareness to the disabled community and among able-bodied curlers
in Calgary and surrounding areas.
The CWCA meets on most Saturday afternoons from 3:15-5:30pm at the Garrison Curling Club 2288 – 47 Avenue SW in
Calgary. Each week members participate in games, skill development and
social fun.
Team Smart finally wins Gold at the 2019 Canadian
Championships. Way to go team!!
The CWCA has hosted numerous events including a Western Canada
tournament with teams from Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta,
demonstrations to various groups and associations, plus the popular
competition friendly 2-on-2 tournaments.
CWCA members have also gone to represent the Alberta Champions at the
Canadian Championships 13 times. This year the team was successful at
winning a GOLD medal to add to their 5 Silver medals and 1 Bronze medal. In
addition, 3 of our members that have been named to Team Canada and competed
in numerous World Championships and International competitions.
So, if you are looking for a great recreational sport during
these long winters, one that is committed to fun and recreation with an
great group of people, a sport that will challenge you personally if you let
it, or allow you to enjoy friendly competition, then you got to try
wheelchair curling.
