Archery Canada supports teams across many international event, within various disciplines.

The goal of the team selection Policies are to outline a clear, fair and transparent process to select archers to their discipline specific target teams that will represent Canada at international competitions.
AC is committed to selecting those athletes to represent Canada, who are best qualified to support the strategic goals and objectives of AC’s high performance program. The goals and objectives of AC may change depending on the event for which selection takes place (e.g. major event such as World Championships and multi-sport games or an event targeted at athlete development).
