, 2018 – Triathlon Ontario, the recognized Provincial governing body of Multisport in Ontario, announced published the Quest For Gold Ontario Athlete Assistance Program application for the 2019 season.
The program is funded by the Government of Ontario, through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (MTCS). Specific objectives of the program are:

• To help athletes continue their pursuit of athletic excellence at the highest levels of national and international competition;
• To encourage athletes to stay in Ontario to live and train;
• To compensate athletes for earnings lost while training;
• To enable athletes to successfully pursue excellence in sport while fulfilling their educational goals;
• To increase athlete access to improved high performance coaching; and
• To enhance training and competitive opportunities available to athletes.

Ideally an athlete will first receive a Quest for Gold “Ontario Card” for 1 to 3 years, which will allow them to train towards the goal of a national team position in subsequent years. Once an Ontario athlete reaches the national level and becomes a recipient of Sport Canada’s carding program, they become eligible for the Quest for Gold “Canada Card”.
