The Canadian Intercollegiate Rodeo Associations, is non-profit rodeo association that pertains to Canadian Post Secondary Education Students. Although we are a National Association, the majority of our rodeos are held throughout the Province of Alberta.  Our association has grown over the years obtaining approximately 150 members, 5 different rodeo teams and typically sanction 8-10 rodeos per year with the CCFR being held at the end of March. Being apart of a rodeo team is very beneficial to each of our members, however  it is not a requirement to be a member of the CIRA. The only requirement to be a member of the CIRA is to be accepted into a Canadian Post Secondary Educational institute obtaining a minimum 9 credits and 2.0 GPA per semester.
