The NWA Vancouver Canadian Heavyweight Championship was the Vancouver, British Columbia version of the NWA Canadian Heavyweight title. It was the top singles title in Vancouver-based NWA All-Star Wrestling from 1982 until 1985, when the promotion withdrew from the NWA; the title was then renamed the UWA Canadian Heavyweight Championship (for its fictitious sanctioning body, the Universal Wrestling Alliance) and served as a secondary singles title until 1989.[1]
