History
The Ontario Games Program started in 1970 in Etobicoke as a showcase for amateur sport. They have now become Ontario’s largest multi-sport event, including both team and individual sports.
The Games take place every two years. Qualification takes place in the preceding year’s Triathlon Ontario Youth Cup (14-15). There is one final “Wild Card” race in the year of competition. Athletes must be either 15 or 16 years of age as of December 31st during the year of OSG competition to be eligible to qualify/compete.
The Ontario Summer Games is the first Games experience and an important part of the Triathlon Ontario provincial development pathway.
Objectives
The Ontario Summer Games encourage as many people as possible to play organized sports, help Ontario’s development level athletes pursue excellence, and promote increased tourism and economic development.
The Games are an ideal opportunity for Triathlon Ontario to provide a draft legal competitive race environment within the Province, preparing athletes for further development in draft legal racing and beyond.
