The Canadian Cycling Association is Canada's oldest sport governing body. The Association was known as the Canadian Wheelmen's Association when it was founded in 1882. The goal of the Canadian Wheelmen's Association was to promote, organize and represent cycling in Canada, discover touring routes and preserve the bicyclist's right to the road. The Canadian Wheelmen's Association kept its name from 1882 to 1967. In 1968, it was officially named the Canadian Cycling Association.
Today, more than a century later, the Canadian Cycling Association continues to pursue its mission to lead and support the development and growth of cycling in Canada. The CCA has an excellent high performance program led by a full-time High Performance Director and Manager, full-time professional coaches at national and regional cycling development centres, a strong calendar of national and international events, and in 2003 launched a national introduction to cycling program for youth called Sprockids.
