Our History
Altadore Gymnastic Club was founded in 1967 at Altadore School by Jim McLuskey. Our Squirrel Mascot, Jimmy, is named in his honor.
AGC is proud to carry forward the legacy of legendary coaches who have shaped generations of athletes. One of the pillars of our community was Lifetime Coach Ed Vincent, who dedicated over 35 years to AGC and was the founder of our Men’s Program. Ed’s passion for gymnastics never wavered—he continued training in the gym until the age of 86. In March 2025, we sadly lost Ed, but his mentorship, dedication, and love for the sport will always be remembered.
AGC has a rich history of producing top athletes. In 1992, Jennifer Wood became the first Alberta gymnast to compete at the Olympics after training her entire career at AGC before continuing to NCAA gymnastics. In 2004, our Men’s Program made Canadian history when Kyle Shewfelt, coached by Kelly Manjak, became Canada’s first Olympic gymnastics gold medalist.
Today, AGC’s tradition of excellence continues across all its programs. Our Men’s Artistic Gymnastics (MAG) competitive program is led by head coach Nathan Gafuik, a two-time Olympian who brings his elite experience to our boys' competitive athletes, helping them develop their skills and reach their full potential.
