With a focus on professional development, networking, and the exchange of best practices, the conference serves as a vital platform for coaches, administrators, and executives to stay at the forefront of the dynamic sports landscape.

The CAC is excited to bring the Petro-Canada Sport Leadership sportif conference to Regina for the first time, showcasing the city's passion for sports and its warm hospitality.

“We are thrilled to bring sport leaders from across the country to Regina to learn, network and celebrate Canada’s great coaches.” says Lorraine Lafrenière, CEO of the CAC.
