----subject to funding |
Carding is money given
by WSAA to 8 top performing Alberta athletes.
The athletes with the
top 4 percentages receive $600, and the next 4 receive $400.
See eligibility criteria
below. WSAA carding is not to be confused with National Carding
which is administered by Whitewater Canada.
