Calgary, Canada –The Ryerson University SIFE team was named SIFE Canada National Champion and will advance to represent Canada at the SIFE World Cup in Los Angeles, California this October. Forty-three teams participated in the Canada National Competition 10-12 May, and more than 1,000 people attended this event, including leading business executives who judged the competition.

Every country that operates a SIFE program is eligible to conduct a national competition for the teams in that country. Each SIFE team presents the results of their outreach projects to determine which teams made the most impact on their communities. The national champions then face each other at the SIFE World Cup. Forty SIFE teams are expected to participate in this year's international competition.
