We are delighted to announce an important milestone for the Canadian climbing community:
Climbing Escalade Canada (CEC) will be organizing, in collaboration with
Accès Grimpe, the very first National Para-Climbing Championships on February 8 and 9, 2025, at the Campus Escalade Voie located in Victoriaville’s Complexe Promutuel.
This historic event, which will be coordinated by the Access Grimpe team, represents a major step forward in our commitment to inclusivity in our sport and offers an exciting opportunity for para-athletes to showcase their skills on a national stage.
CEC has teamed up with Accès Grimpe, an organization with unique expertise in para-climbing in Canada. Accès Grimpe has already organized several provincial competitions, and accepted the challenge to make the first National Championships a success! The strength of their network of partnerships and volunteers, as well as their expertise, provide us with a solid foundation for organizing this major event.
The National Para-Climbing Championships will also form an integral part of the National Team selection process for the 2025 season.
More details, including registration information and specific competition formats, will be shared in the fall. For now, mark this date in your calendars and stay tuned for more information! We look forward to welcoming athletes, coaches and the entire climbing community to celebrate this historic event.
