Cross Country Canada is the governing federation for cross country skiing in Canada.

History

The first governing body for cross country skiing in Canada was the Canadian Amateur Skiers Association (CASA), founded in 1920. This body covered all disciplines of skiing; alpine, cross country and jumping. CASA changed to Canadian Skiers Association (CSA) and in 1969 cross country skiing separated from the CSA, becoming its own discipline. Biathlon was part of the CCC for 9 years until it left and formed its own governing body. The CCC remains Canada's governing body for cross country skiing.
