2THE BULLETIN SPRING 2025For over 75 years, the Ontario Federaon of School Athlec Associaons (OFSAA) has been at the forefront of high school athlecs, promong leadership, sportsmanship, and community engagement. OFSAA provides student-athletes with the opportunity to compete at a provincial level. At the same me, the schools and communies that host these events enjoy lasng and rewarding benets that go well beyond the nal game. In recent years, OFSAA has struggled to nd hosts for specic sports, pung a strain on experienced convenors who are asked to host annually. I want to highlight how hosng an OFSAA event can benet your school and community. One of the most immediate and rewarding aspects of hosng an OFSAA event is the enormous sense of pride it creates. When students rally behind their teams, sta lead in planning roles, and alumni return to help, school spirit thrives. Bringing together families, coaches, and students from across Ontario oers host communies and schools an opportunity to showcase their spirit, hospitality, and pride. The boost to the local economy is oen an overlooked advantage. Communies see a notable increase in visitors from teams traveling across Ontario. Local businesses see increased sales, restaurants become busier, and hotels ll up. Hosng OFSAA may be one of the year’s most signicant occasions for many smaller towns. The host associaon also benets from an addional entry in the fesval or championship, allowing local teams to compete at the provincial level, even if they did not qualify through the Associaon Championships. This incenve appeals to programs or areas with a strong tradion in a parcular sport. Aending an OFSAA event presents a fantasc opportunity to gain experience, build condence, and pave the way for future success. We always remind our convenors that the primary goal of hosng an OFSAA event isn’t to turn a prot. Instead, the focus should be on delivering a high-quality experience while meeng budget constraints. OFSAA has sponsorship agreements with equipment providers for many sports, allowing the host school to retain equipment as part of the event’s legacy. In some cases, equipment upgrades can be incorporated into the event budget, although we generally expect that many essenals are already in place. With community sponsor support, some events can even oset costs and provide addional assistance to their school’s athlec program. Hosng an OFSAA event is about more than just the compeon—it’s a chance to showcase what makes your school and community unique, build connecons, and develop a sense of pride that remains long aer the event concludes. So, the next me the opportunity arises, don’t hesitate. Because when your community hosts OFSAA, everyone wins.If you are interested in hosng but don’t know where to start, the OFSAA convenor manual on our website is a great resource for prospecve hosts. Please see page ve of this magazine for a lisng of available hosng opportunies. Alternavely, feel free to contact me at erik@ofsaa.on.ca with any quesons.

9OFSAA NEWSTHE IMPRINT OF OFSAA TRY DAY!OFSAA is able to provide students with opportunies to live an acve, healthy lifestyle thanks to funding provided by the Government of OntarioNous pouvons fournir aux étudiants des occasions de vivre un style de vie sain grace au nancement du Gouvernement de l’Ontario20252025EDUCATION THROUGH SCHOOL SPORT LE SPORT SCOLAIRE : UN ENTRAîNEMENT POUR LA VIEA ‘TRY DAY’ SCHOOL • UNE ÉCOLE DE ‘TRY DAY’ LEADERSHIP NEW ACTIVITIES FUN FOR ALLAs a former student from Mackenzie Community School in Deep River (EOSSAA), I was one of the student leaders who introduced cricket to our school as part of OFSAA Try Day in 2022. Now three years later, I wanted to share how impacul that opportunity was for me and my peers, and express how grateful I am for the funding OFSAA was able to provide. As MCS is a small rural school, extra funding, new equipment, and excing learning opportunies are not always easy to come by. When applying for Try Day in 2022, cricket was recommended, and though I had never played the sport, we decided to give it a go. With minimal knowledge and a few peers who were familiar with cricket, we were able to successfully introduce the sport to over 200 students throughout the day. I was thankful for the opportunity to try my hand at a new sport, as well as to see so many other students learning, laughing, and nding new skills. The part of this day that truly resonates with me to this day was the joy of students who had a love for cricket being able to share the sport with their friends, when a former lack of equipment prevented them from doing so. It makes me incredibly happy to see this equipment sll being used in gym classes at MCS, and the dedicaon from teachers to learn how to teach cricket to their students. I’d say that cricket equipment went a long way in promong the sport!This day was very special to me back in 2022, but it is even more special to me now today. I had the incredible opportunity to parcipate in the very rst OCR (Ontario College Recreaon) women’s cricket tournament as a member of Cambrian College’s team (Sudbury). When I saw that the college was hosng tryouts for the team, I instantly knew I wanted to join. I had never played a proper match before, but the joy I had playing in high school was sll there, and I was so excited to play again. I learned as much as I could within the week, and successfully made the team. My teammates were shocked to hear that the extent of my cricket experience was that one OFSAA Try Day, but it was the happiness I felt playing the game that made me show up, far beyond the skill I had. Our team managed to reach the nals of the tournament, and success was seen from every college, with it looking like women’s cricket will be scking around for OCR.I play on three varsity teams at Cambrian - soccer, badminton, and cross-country running - but I’m being completely honest when I say that cricket has become my favourite by far. Without the funding from OFSAA Try Day and the opportunity to introduce cricket to our school, I’d have never considered playing college cricket. But just that one day of enjoying myself in learning a new sport and sharing it with others was enough to keep me engaged and wanng more. I am so incredibly thankful for the support of OFSAA, both for the funding that gave me my start in cricket, but also for the compeon I was able to parcipate in all other sports, that also led me to a successful three-sport college career. If I didn’t realize how impacul introducing new and non- tradional sports to youth was back in 2022, I absolutely do now today. I just wanted to let everyone know how unique and important the OFSAA Try Day program is, and how appreciave I am of its success. Thank you for giving me and so many others opportunity to excel in places we never thought we’d be. Jamie Hopkins Vice President, Cambrian Student Council

A dedicated mul-sport athlete, she has represented her school in cross-country running, cross-country skiing, mountain biking, basketball, soccer, track and eld, and curling.

Despite the circumstances, she stayed posive, rallied her teammates, and placed an impressive 25th. This unwavering opmism and determinaon is a hallmark of Char’s leadership.Beyond compeon, Char is deeply commied to mentorship and empowerment, especially for girls and marginalized youth.

Arriving at Central Peel Secondary School (ROPSSAA) during the post-COVID transion, Kabir began as a quiet, undersized Grade 9 student with no formal volleyball experience. Today, he graduates as a transformave force at CPSS, having led iniaves that shaped the culture of his school and extended far beyond it.Athlecally, Kabir has redened what’s possible for a public school program. Aer being cut from his middle school volleyball team, he joined CPSS’s junior squad and, through relentless work, became captain of the senior team. Under his leadership, the program rose from obscurity to win its rst-ever Tier 1 regional championship—ending a 60-year drought and earning a berth at OFSAA. He also captains the varsity soccer team and contributes to track and eld, baseball, badminton, and ball hockey, earning Junior Athlete of the Year and nominaon for Senior Athlete of the Year.

31The 2025 OFSAA Alpine Ski Championship was held on February 24 and 25th at Osler Blu Ski Hill in Collingwood. Convened by Melissa Wheatcro and her commiee of experienced teacher-coaches from Our Lady of the Bay for the second consecuve year, 316 skiers from 13 OFSAA member Associaons competed at this year’s event.The OFSAA Leadership in School Sport Award recipient was Brad Darlington of Eastview Secondary School (GBSSA) in Barrie. Brad has been a commied teacher-coach throughout his long teaching career, coaching numerous sports, parcularly alpine skiing. He epitomizes the descripon and criteria of the Leadership in School Sport Award. Congratulaons, Brad! The banquet was held at the main lodge of Osler Blu for the second straight year. It’s a beauful facility, with an ecient sta, and over 400 people were treated to an excellent meal. Student-athletes, teacher-coaches and volunteers enjoyed great camaraderie throughout the evening. Following dinner, aendees were treated to the words of the guest speaker - Michaela Gosselin - an alumni of Our Lady of the Bay Catholic Secondary School in Collingwood. Michaela is a mulple-me OFSAA athlete and she earned a medal in alpine in 2020. She shared her story of being a cancer survivor and compeng for Canada on the World Para Alpine circuit while currently enrolled at Queen’s University. She will be represenng Canada next year at the Corna Paralympics! Michaela’s story of perseverance in the face of adversity was a wonderful message for all to hear and we will be keeping tabs on her this year and next year at the Paralympics!As usual, compeon was close in both Giant Slalom on Day 1 and Slalom on Day 2. The weather this winter made the condions excellent at the hill, but warmer temperatures made it challenging for the ski race team from Osler to set the course. In typical fashion, they did a terric job.The 2026 OFSAA Alpine Championship will be convened, for the third year in a row, by Melissa Wheatcro and her crew from Our Lady of the Bay and GBSSA.OFSAA Alpine Skiing Championship Collingwood February 24 – 25, 2025 1 Emily Blair, Barrie North (GBSSA) 1:22.582 Lila McEwen, Elmvale DHS (GBSSA) 1:26.943 Kate Bouchard, Marymount Academy (NOSSA) 1:27.181 Trinity College, CISAA 562 South Carleton HS, NCSSAA 573 Twin Lakes SS, GBSSA 591 Kate Bouchard, Marymount Academy (NOSSA) 58.462 Lila McEwen, Elmvale DHS (GBSSA) 58.723 Emily Blair, Barrie North (GBSSA) 58.991 Ashbury College, NCSSAA 332 Arnprior DHS, EOSSAA 663 South Carleton, NCSSAA 831 Niko Johnson, Ashbury College (NCSSAA) 1:13.652 Charlie Dobbin, Crestwood SS (COSSA) 1:13.753 Laurier Sullivan, Ashbury College (NCSSAA) 1:16.971 Ashbury College, NCSSAA 112 Adam Sco CVI, COSSA 333 Lockerby Composite, NOSSA 341 Charlie Bretzler, North Toronto CI (TDSSAA) 56.882 Mitchell Childerhose, Grand River CI (CWOSSA) 57.183 Finlay Toner, Almonte DHS (EOSSAA) 57.211 Ashbury College, NCSSAA 192 Barrie North, GBSSA 473 Almonte, EOSSAA 661 Mia Lewis, Louis-Riel (NCSSAA) 1:02.272 Alexandra Houle, Louis-Riel (NCSSAA) 1:03.103 Rachael MacMillan, Collingwood CI (GBSSA) 1:03.921 Louis-Riel, NCSSAA 172 Collingwood Collegiate, GBSSA 433 Our Lady of the Bay, GBSSA 501 Mia Lewis, Louis-Riel (NCSSAA) 65.062 Ava Currie, É.s.c.

33Championship ResultsChampionship ResultsFor the second consecuve year, the OFSAA Swimming Championships were held at the Pan Am Sports Centre in Toronto. This year, Convenor Tim White and his fantasc organizing commiee from CISAA welcomed 355 high schools and 2,369 student-athletes from OFSAA’s 18 member Associaons. An event of this magnitude could not be successfully completed without a great deal of help and so OFSAA would also like to thank the well-organized student volunteers and community swimming ocials who helped over the two days. During the championship, 14 Individual and three Relay Records were broken - some of them within the same race. Like all of OFSAA’s Championships and Fesvals, streaming has become an important and integral part of our events and the Swimming Championship is no excepon. This year there were 12,019 live streaming views originang from 58 dierent countries over the two days.This year’s OFSAA Leadership in School Sport Award was presented to long-me teacher-coach Leanne McConnell from GHAC. Leanne taught at Central High School in Burlington and while swimming was her primary passion, she also coached soccer, cross country and eld hockey. As well as being acvely involved in school sport, Leanne was also the sta member in charge of dierent student and athlec councils that were responsible for running events for students in her school. Clearly Leanne is a most deserving recipient of this year’s award.
