Canadian Pole and Aerial Championships

About the Championship

 

We invite you to join the 2026 Canadian Pole and Aerial Championship (CPAC) as a valued sponsor for the fifteenth annual championship series of events. The CPAC is continuing highly anticipated in-person live and online events with new management and featuring the best aerial artists from across Canada. This is an exceptional opportunity for your business to be featured to hundreds of participants and audience members and build brand recognition within the Canadian pole, aerial and circus communities.


Our Audience

CPAC events attract those in the dance and fitness communities, as well as members of the public who enjoy outstanding performances reminiscent of Cirque du Soleil. This tends to be a higher income, largely female-identifying, audience of consumers. However, expanded aerial and artistic categories, Professional National Champions in all four major divisions, and Overall High Score prize packages at our National finals, we continue to welcome a more diverse community of athletes of all ages and gender identities.
