Codi Wilson is a 4th generation cowgirl who was born and raised on a farm just south of Sundre, Alberta. The sport of rodeo has been a huge part of her life since she was a young girl.  Growing up in a rodeo family, Codi feels that rodeo is not just a sport but a way of life. Her passion for the western way of life has led her to want to share all it has to offer with more people as the knowledge of the rural lifestyle has become much less commonly known.

 

Codi began competing in junior rodeos at a very young age as her family traveled the amateur and pro rodeo circuits in Alberta. She was a member of the Alberta High School Rodeo Association for 7 years and throughout her years in this association, Codi competed in multiple events.  She was honored to be crowned the Alberta High School Rodeo Queen in 2016 which is where her passion for sharing the sport of rodeo flourished. In 2019 she became the Alberta High School Rodeo Queen Coordinator and has been growing the program ever since.  She is excited to continue to mentor and coach young girls in their pursuit to become a rodeo queen through her journey this year! 

 

Besides rodeo, Codi was a member of the Sundre 4H Multi-Club in both the beef and horse projects for 10 years.  She held many executive positions in the club as well and attributes so much of where she is today to the 4H program. Codi also participated in the Sundre High School Leadership Club, Student’s Union, band and played several school sports.  Codi has been an avid dancer since she was 3 years old dancing multiple disciplines, with her favorite being ballet.  She continues to teach dance in her spare time and always loves the opportunity to share her passion with others.

 

Currently finishing her 7th year of a Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Education combined degree with a major in Indigenous Studies and minor in Kinesiology at the University of Lethbridge, she is excited to continue sharing the values of our western history, culture and the rural way of life.
