Nordiq Canada is the governing federation for cross-country skiing in Canada.
History
[edit]The first governing body for cross-country skiing in Canada was the Canadian Amateur Skiers Association (CASA), founded in 1920. This body covered all disciplines of skiing; alpine, cross-country, and jumping. CASA changed to Canadian Skiers Association (CSA) and in 1969 cross-country skiing separated from the CSA, becoming its own discipline. Biathlon was part of the CCC for 9 years until it left and formed its own governing body. The CCC remains Canada's governing body for cross-country skiing.
In 2019, Cross Country Ski de Fond Canada officially rebranded and is now known as Nordiq Canada.
