About CAWA

The Canadian Amateur Wrestling Association (Wrestling Canada Lutte) is the national sport governing body for Olympic style wrestling in Canada. The association's role is to encourage and develop the widest participation and highest proficiency in Olympic wrestling in Canada. Through the development of coaches, officials and administrators the association provides leadership to the sport and enables the provincial/territorial affiliaties to coordinate programs and activities in their jurisdictions.

Wrestling Canada Lutte is a not-for-profit organization that is governed by its regional Board of Directors and an elected Executive Committee. A staff of four see to the day to day affairs of the association.

Wrestling Canada Lutte operates the men's senior and developmental national team programs and a women's national team program. These teams represent Canada at major international tournaments, continental and world championships, world cups, and major games including the Olympics.

Wrestling Canada Lutte oversees the operation of three National Championships and one international cup on an annual basis. We recently hosted the 1993 World Senior Freestyle Championships and the 1994 World Cup of Freestyle Wrestling.
