Athletics and Recreation
Wilfrid Laurier University is a member of the Ontario
Universities Athletic Association 
(OUAA) and the Ontario Women's Intercollegiate Athletic
Association (OWIAA), and  competes
in 17 sports. Both the men and women's teams have been
competitive within these two
associations.

    The recreational facilities compare favourably with
those of other
institutions and provide many opportunities for the leisure
pursuits of the university community.
An Olympic-length swimming pool, six air-conditioned squash
courts, three gymnasia with
seating for 2,500 spectators, a modern weight exercise room and
two outdoor tennis courts are
at the disposal of students for recreational use. WLU now owns
Seagram Stadium which includes
a lighted football field, a six lane track, a gymnasium and an
exercise room. Plans are under
way to put in an artificial playing surface which could
accommodate many sports including
softball.

     The Intramural sports program includes competitive,
instructional and
co-educational activities.
