Welcome to the CBBF Website
The CBBF is Canada's only federally recognized governing body for amateur bodybuilding, fitness and body fitness (figure)
competition. This is the only Canadian organization that qualifies competitors for
competition at the three annual IFBB World Championships, and the only one that awards competitors an IFBB Pro
Card. Participating in CBBF events means you are able to compete with the best athletes in Canada who qualify
through stringent tiered systems in their host provinces and are judged by qualified provincial and national judges. Only
those competitions that appear on our Events listing listing under each of the sections are sanctioned
by the CBBF. Please contact us at info@cbbf.ca if you have any questions.
The IFBB is the international federation for bodybuilding, fitness and body fitness. The IFBB has more
than 170 member countries and is recognized worldwide. For more on the IFBB, please visit

| Important Info for Figure & Fitness Athletes ONLY |
For individual poses competitors will walk to centre stage and perform quarter turns the same as in a line up for comparisons.
However, it will be without the instruction of the head judge, and they will be allowed to bend one knee during side poses as well as look at the audience
during the front and side poses. One hand may be on hip for individual walk-on pose, however, not during comparison posing.
Comparison poses will remain unchanged from past posing rules (directed by the head judge, knees together, eyes in the direction they are facing).

| Notice Regarding Official Event Hotels |
Dear Athletes, Trainers and Supporters,
At several recent CBBF National Events in 2009 and 2010 there were incidents that have resulted in extensive and costly damage to rooms occupied by athletes at Official Event hotels.
This must not happen in the future and to ensure that it does not, the following will become effective immediately:
- Official Event hotels will require a substantial monetary damage deposit for rooms booked by athletes, trainers and supporters.
- The CBBF shall immediately suspend any athlete from further competition or involvement in any and all CBBF events, if in the opinion of the CBBF, the athlete causes or is in anyway responsible for damage to the Official Event hotel or the venue facilities.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Mark Smishek,
CBBF Chairperson

| Additional IFBB Professional League Card |
The CBBF is very excited to announce that an additional IFBB Professional League card will be provided at the 2010 CBBF Natural Physique Championships, being held in Laval, QC and promoted by our good friend Joe Spinello.
At our 2009 AGM it was unanimously passed that an IFBB Pro card be provided to the overall Body Fitness (FIGURE) champion and the overall FITNESS champion.
After conversations with the promoter and the CBBF executive the additional IFBB Pro card will be provided to the overall BIKINI champion.
However, it will be up to the provincial associations to determine whether the bikini athletes may enter this event, as some do have qualifying events for bikini athletes.
The bikini division, as of yet, is not an IFBB Amateur Worlds category, so this division is being added to the Natural Physique Championships to provide the opportunity for athletes who are entering this sport to participate for an IFBB Pro card.
More information will be provided to our website in the near future.
