The Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) is pleased to announce Columbia Bible College as the host of the 2027 CCAA Women’s Basketball National Championship, set to take place in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Columbia Bible College brings a rapidly growing tradition of basketball excellence and a strong commitment to the student-athlete experience to the national championship.

The Columbia Bible College women’s basketball program has emerged as one of the top programs in the country, highlighted by a CCAA national championship title and consistent national ranking. The program’s on-court success is matched by a strong culture of academic achievement and community involvement, reflecting CBC’s broader commitment to excellence in collegiate athletics. Columbia Bible College has previously hosted a CCAA national championship, welcoming the 2012 CCAA Men’s Volleyball Championship following a national title season.

Mike Teeter, Director of Athletics & Recreation at Columbia Bible College, said, "CBC Athletics is eager to host and warmly welcome student-athletes, coaches, families, and fans from across Canada. Hospitality is at the core of our college community, and we are committed to creating a memorable, positive, and seamless championship experience for every participant and guest."

Located in the heart of British Columbia’s Fraser Valley, Abbotsford offers a welcoming and accessible destination for a national championship. The city combines the amenities of an urban centre with the natural beauty of the Lower Mainland. Abbotsford’s vibrant basketball community, strong local support, and proximity to outdoor recreation make it an ideal host city for teams and fans traveling from across Canada.

CCAA women’s basketball national convenor Mai Nguyen said, “Columbia Bible College is well positioned to host the 2027 CCAA Women’s Basketball National Championship. The combination of competitive excellence, experienced leadership, and community engagement will create an exciting and memorable championship environment for student-athletes and fans alike.”

The CCAA looks forward to working with Columbia Bible College to deliver an outstanding championship experience while celebrating excellence, sportsmanship, and competition at the highest level of collegiate women’s basketball.

The 2026 CCAA Women’s Basketball National Championship will be hosted by Dawson College in Montreal, QC from March 18 to 21st.
