The Canada Games are an inter-provincial and territorial sports festival staged every two years, alternating between Summer and Winter Games.

Since the Canada Games were introduced in 1967, more than 100,000 participants in over 40 sports have been involved as athletes, coaches or officials, and over 75,000 volunteers have dedicated their time to staging the event.

The 2019 Canada Winter Games is a multi-sport event which will be held in Red Deer, Alberta. Top young archers from each province compete in late February (Entire event February 15th - March 4th). The rounds are shot indoors at 18m on vertical 3 spot targets only.

**Archers must be 20 years of age or younger as of December 31, 2019**

Ontario takes a Team of 2 male and 2 female archers, one each in recurve and compound to shoot two days of indoor World Archery (FITA) rounds for ranking, followed by days of shoot-offs, and mixed team rounds.

Scores from registered club 60-arrow World Archery indoor rounds (formerly FITA rounds), OAA Championships, and training camps held in February, March, and April of 2017 will be used as qualifiers to determine archers who will be invited to attend the Team Trials. Details will follow. Archers from any zone may attend any camp but archers may attend only one of these camps. The camps will consist of a 60 arrow round using only vertical 3 spot target format, information regarding other helpful training areas, as well as practicing team rounds.

NOTE: Excluded from the Canada Games are:

• Athletes who have held a Senior card (as defined by Sport Canada's Athlete Assistance program) at any time.
• Athletes who have competed for any nation at a Senior World Archery Championship.
• Athletes who have competed for any nation at any Pan or ParaPan American Games.
• Athletes who have competed for any nation at any Olympic or Paralympic Games.

I am happy to announce that Matt Rimmer has volunteered to take on the position of OAA VP Marketing.. Matt brings with him a wealth of experience and we look forward to moving the OAA forward with his help and knowledge.

VP Marketing was vacant and would be up for re-election in 2019, therefore this position is being filled by appointment of the President.

Final results from the 2017 Ontario Field Championship held in Kingston are now available here.

Hello Everyone,

I am happy to announce that two of our longest serving OAA Volunteers and staff have decided to retire and actually start to enjoy their retirement. These two people have been a cornerstone of the organization and have been there through the thick and thin. They have both put in countless hours, more then any person should be expected and truly embody what a volunteer is. Thank you for the time and energy you have put into helping the archers in Ontario I don't know that anyone will truly understand the impact both of you have had on archery in the province.

Together let us wish both Bruce and Lynda Savage all the best in their future endeavors

With that, two positions have become open. Kevin Stroud has graciously come forward to take over the position of Office Administrator and we have begun the process of transitioning him into that position. Remaining will be the position of VP Administration which will be elected at the 2017 AGM.

Please stay tuned to the website for more information regarding the AGM as soon as details have been confirmed.

Thank you,

Michael Martin
