History of the Athletic Program

Western Canada has a strong tradition of excellence and success in athletics. Over the years Western has recieved numerious provincial and city championships. Last year we broke a school record with ten city championships. Our history of excellence is a product of the dedicated efforts of student-athletes, parents, and coaches. We are also supported by an amazing administration and student body.

We are proud to offer a well balanced athletic program for students to get involved - as an athlete, trainer, minor official or manager, and students are encourage to participate in all areas. Western competes under the governing body of the Calgary Senior High School Athletic Association (CSHSAA) and the Alberta Schools Athletic Association (ASAA). Western competes in a total of 11 CSHSAA approved sports, the maximum number possible in Calgary.

Athletics is an integral part of the total education process that provides an opportunity for student-athletes to develop life skills and grow into responsible citizens.
