16 UNBC Timberwolves earn Academic All-Canadian status

The academic achievements of UNBC student-athletes is being celebrated once again.

This year, 16 Timberwolves earned the distinction of U SPORTS Academic All-Canadian status from the 2024-25 season, recognizing their commitment to excellence in the classroom as well as in competition.

The annual Academic All-Canadian Celebration took place this evening at the Northern Lights Estate Winery Tuesday night, where student-athletes who achieved a minimum Grade Point Average of 3.67 (A- average or higher) were honoured.

“Celebrating our Academic All-Canadians is a highlight that we look forward to every year,” said Loralyn Murdoch, UNBC Director of Athletics & Recreation.

“These student-athletes embody the balance, discipline, and dedication that define what it means to be a Timberwolf. They have helped strengthen the culture of academic and athletic success at UNBC.”

Last year, it was the UNBC Women’s Basketball team who once again earned the Office of the Provost Academic Achievement Award, finishing with an impressive team GPA of 3.48.

The honour is presented annually to the Timberwolves varsity program with the highest collective GPA. Remarkably, this marks the sixth consecutive year the Women’s Basketball program has captured the award.
