Announcement: Ontario Cup #5 to be held at Lakefield College School March 5/6, 2022
We are excited to announce that Lakefield College School in collaboration with Kawartha Nordic will host an Ontario Cup at Lakefield College School March 5/6, 2022. Much work has been done by LCS as planned host of OFSAA Nordic Championships. With the cancellation of OFSAA nordic, approval from local public health paves the way for hosting an Ontario Cup. Formats and techniques are being finalized – expect an interval start and mass start. Thank you to the Local Organizing Committee! Stay tuned for more details in the coming days.

2022 Youth Championships Update
Unfortunately, Porcupine Ski Runners in Timmins, ON is no longer able to host the 2022 Youth Championships March 12/13, 2022. The Local Public Health Unit advised the Local Organizing Committee that it is very unlikely that the event can go ahead in Timmins. While restrictions may change, the Local Organizing Committee felt it best to inform XCSO to allow another host site to be found. XCSO is committed to providing a competition opportunity and are working towards finding a new host club. Stay tuned.
OCup #3 (Thunder Bay) – Cancelled
Lakehead Superior Nordic Association (LSNA) has made the difficult decision to cancel OCUP#3. The current restrictions in place by the Government of Ontario make it impossible for teams to access any indoor space on-site, and health units have recommended against non-essential travel. With schools opening on Monday there is an expectation that OMICRON will peak during the event, likely affecting travel, participation and volunteer capacity. The Local Organizing Committee has evaluated these factors and the additional measures required to address them, and determined that cancellation is the prudent course of action.
XCSO extends a thank you to the Local Organizing Committee for all their work and to our ski community for their continued patience and understanding as COVID-19 continues to impact our ability to host events.
2022 Ontario Winter Games Postponed Until 2023
The Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism & Culture Industries (MHSTCI) along with the host community of the County of Renfrew have announced the postponement of the 2022 Ontario Winter Games to 2023. Full media release is HERE.
This is a great disappointment to the athletes who have trained throughout this season towards this goal and to the coaches who have supported them. More information will be provided when/if received.
