Show Ski Kicks Off WSWC’s 2025 Sport Committee Elections
Water Ski & Wakeboard Canada (WSWC) is proud to announce the launch of the 2025 Sport Committee Election process, beginning with the Show Ski Committee (Previously known as Show Ski Council).
Sport Committees are the driving force behind the growth and evolution of each discipline.
