History
The Timberwolves were members of the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA), primarily competing in the Pacific Western Athletic Association (PacWest) until the 2011–12 season. In 2011, however, they were granted probationary membership for the 2012–13 season by the Canada West Universities Athletic Association (Canada West) of the then-named Canadian Interuniversity Sport.{{cite web|url=https://canadawest.org/sports/2019/5/9/information-history.aspx|title=Canada West History|publisher=Canada West|access-date=June 7, 2020}} The program first admitted the men's and women's soccer teams, as well as the men's and women's basketball teams that season. In 2014, UNBC was granted full membership to Canada West and has continued to field the aforementioned four varsity programs.
