Canada West members approved alternate formats for the 2021-22 seasons. These formats are only approved for one season, but when that season will actually begin is still undecided. The alternate formats will have a greater focus on regional play and still ultimately end in play-offs, providing health authorities give their approvals. All CW championship sports are planned to proceed during the 2021-22 season, with championships in: cross country, curling, golf, swimming, track & field, and wrestling.
