Wrestling in Canada

The sport continued to grow during the 20th century and by 1969, the Canadian Amateur Wrestling Association was formed.

The organization's purpose is to encourage and develop the widest participation and highest proficiency in Olympic wrestling in Canada.

[2][3] Wrestling is a sport officially included in the Canada Summer Games program.

Initially the program considered wrestling a winter sport and was featured at the first Canada Games in 1967.

[7][8] The film focused on two female Canadian wrestlers in particular – former Simon Fraser University wrestler Carol Huynh, who begins training with the Calgary Dinos at the University of Calgary, and Junior World wrestling champion Danielle Lappage, originally from Alberta and was then training at Simon Fraser University in her first year as a senior wrestler.
