Canadian-style Agility
The Agility Association of Canada (AAC) was founded in 1988 by Art Newman. At
first, there were only a handful of people involved nationwide, but the numbers have
increased apace and now there are about 900 members. The rules are probably similar to

differences. Maureen Jennings and Lynda Yielding go into the nitty gritty of agility the
Canadian way.

The
First Canadian National Championships

planning, but they finally did it! Canada has finally put together a National

September 2001. It included a Power & Speed course designed by our own Jo Rhodes. By all
accounts, it was well worth the wait. Kim Collins explains
