SIRC (Sport Information Resource Centre) and the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA) are proud to announce the 2009-10 SIRC-CCAA Academic All Canadian Award recipients.  This year, 119 student-athletes have achieved combined excellence in collegiate athletics and academics.

The SIRC-CCAA Academic All Canadian Award is the CCAA’s most prestigious student-athlete award, epitomizing our mandate of recognizing excellence in academics and athletics.  To achieve this award, a student-athlete must be named to his/her respective PCAA All-Star teams (1st and 2nd) in a CCAA Sport, and must achieve honours standing at their Institution. 

“To achieve excellence in both sport and academics requires tremendous skill, dedication and perseverance.  SIRC is honoured to recognize those outstanding collegiate student-athletes who are also passionate about excelling in their education,” expressed Debra Gassewitz, President and CEO, SIRC.

“Both SIRC and the CCAA share a commitment to academic quality and to the conduct of athletics so as to support the education purpose,” expressed Sandra Murray-MacDonell, CCAA Executive Director.  “We are very proud to recognize and celebrate those student-athletes who’ve achieved academic and athletic excellence.”

The SIRC-CCAA Academic All Canadian Recognition Award is also presented each year to the institution with the most student-athlete award recipients.   This year, SIRC and the CCAA are pleased to present the award to Mount Saint Vincent University and Red Deer College who each have a total of six (6) recipients best combining academic and athletic excellence.
