Over twenty years ago, a group of wildlife enthusiasts got together and founded the Association with a goal of promoting an appreciation for wildlife through carving.
Today, Prairie Canada’s goal remains the same and we continue to support and promote our deep appreciation of wildlife through our annual Show and Competition. Over the years, our competition has grown to showcase a variety of carvings, including waterfowl, song and shorebirds, fish, traditional carvings, as well as, stone, bark, bone, and antler carvings. The Prairie Canada Carving Competition has not only grown in size, but has developed into one of North America’s premiere competitions.
Our show has been featured in Wildfowl Carving and Collecting magazine, published in Pennsylvania, USA on several occasions. This is a wonderful accomplishment, as only a few competitions from across North America are featured in this publication each year!

The Carver’s Award of Excellence was established in 2006 to acknowledge individuals, organizations and businesses for excellence and achievement in promoting and engendering the art of carving in North America. It was designed, quite simply, to pay tribute to those who have done special things to foster carving.
Recipients must be nominated for recognition from the carving community. They should have made a long term commitment to the advancement and promotion of carving, ideally leaving a lasting influence upon the community.

Events like the Prairie Canada Carving Championship are expensive undertakings, costing in the range of $17,000 to $20,000 a year to host. So it is no surprise that PCCA has relied upon sponsors to remain financially viable. In this we have been very successful as noted by the impressive array of organizations/individuals that sponsored the show and competition in 2009. However sponsors come and go, so if you know of individuals or organizations that potentially could support your show please contact Ted Muir at (204) 237-1385. PCCA will do all the approaching if need be, but we need your help in identifying potential sponsors
