Canadian Cycling Association (CCA)<br />

Canadian athletes for international events. The CCA is recognized by the international cycling authority<br />
<strong>and</strong> serves as national liaison to the International Cycling Union (UCI).<br />
National Cycling Centres in Canada<br />
The network <strong>of</strong> National Cycling Centres in Canada is a key initiative <strong>of</strong> the Canadian Cycling Association.<br />
The main objective <strong>of</strong> the National Cycling Centre system is to ensure support for athletes throughout<br />
their pr<strong>of</strong>essional development from initiation to cycling (at the club level) to the elite national team, by<br />
ensuring high quality services to athletes <strong>and</strong> provision <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essional coaching assistance to athletes in<br />
provinces where there are fewer resources.<br />
There are two kinds <strong>of</strong> National Cycling Centres in Canada:<br />
1. National Team Training Centres (NTTCs); <strong>and</strong><br />
2. National Development Centres (NDCs).<br />
The mission <strong>of</strong> the NTTCs (based in British Colombia <strong>and</strong> Quebec), is to provide world-class support to<br />
Canadian National Team athletes in coaching, sport science <strong>and</strong> medicine, training support <strong>and</strong> life<br />
services. These services are available to National Team athletes only. The NTTCs are fully funded <strong>and</strong><br />
directly governed by the Canadian Cycling Association. The NTTCs are tenants at the physical locations<br />
