EnglishWhat Is Wheelchair Rugby Canada?
Updated
Wheelchair Rugby Canada (WRC) is the national organization dedicated to the development and progression of wheelchair rugby in Canada. Its stated identity is "It's Our Game," and it describes itself as proud to represent the leaf. If you are looking for a club, want to start playing, are interested in coaching, or simply want to follow Canadian results, wheelchairrugby.ca is the national entry point.
What the organization does
WRC positions itself around two things: growing the sport across the country and supporting the people already in it. Its stated goal is to partner with other organizations to offer a progression of development opportunities — meaning the pathway is meant to run from first contact with the sport through to higher levels of play.
The site organizes its activity around a few clear audiences:
- Athletes — profiles and a route to getting started
- Coaches — a coaching section with resources
- Clubs — a national club directory
- Volunteers and staff — job and volunteer opportunities
- Fans — news, event updates, and results
Core sections of the website
| Section | What you find there |
|---|---|
| News and results | International results, event updates, announcements |
| Athletes | Individual athlete profiles |
| Find A Club | Club search by province or territory |
| Coaching Resources | Material for coaches |
| Get Involved | Playing, coaching, and volunteer pathways |
| Shop WRC | Merchandise |
| Resources | Includes the Canadian Anti-Doping Program |
Find A Club
The club finder lets you select a province or territory from a full list — Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon — plus an "All Provinces" option. This is the most direct route if your goal is to locate a program near you.
News and international results
The site publishes match results and event coverage. Recent examples shown include Canada 48–43 over the Netherlands in the 7th place match at the 2026 WWR World Championship, and a 51–50 loss to Denmark on Day 6 of the same tournament. It also carries retrospective articles, such as a look back at Canada's performance at the 2026 World Championship.
Staying informed
WRC offers an email sign-up for scores, event updates, and news delivered to your inbox. It also posts announcements — for example, a community town hall, and an investment in wheelchair rugby from the Canadian Paralympic Committee.
Who it is for
- New players — start with "Get Your Start Today" and the club finder
- Current athletes — athlete profiles and national team context
- Coaches — dedicated coaching resources
- Clubs and organizers — partnership and development framing
- Supporters — results, news, and the shop
Relationship to the Paralympic system
WRC operates within Canada's Paralympic landscape. The site notes investment in wheelchair rugby from the Canadian Paralympic Committee, and it links to the Canadian Anti-Doping Program under its resources. That places the organization as the national body connecting grassroots clubs to the country's broader Paralympic structure.

The site does not publish pricing or membership cost information in the material available, so treat any cost questions as something to confirm directly with a local club or with WRC.
