A beautiful fall day welcomed all of the athletes to the University Theatre for our annual Canada Championships and NPAA-Elite Pro show .

Magnum Nutraceuticals sent over $ 20,000 worth of prizes and swag to be awarded to the natural athletes of our federation .

Our show paid tribute to Kamber Lindenbach , a competitor , coach and icon in our industry . She and her partner passed away during the summer and our Heart Award was named in her honour .
