OCAA Announces Cancellation of 2020-21 Winter Varsity Season

The Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) and its members announced today the difficult decision to cancel sanctioned varsity sports competition planned for the 2021 winter semester at the OCAA's 27 member schools. The decision was made in response to the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic and the sport restrictions that are in place in the Province of Ontario.

Sports affected by the cancelation of the 2021 OCAA varsity sports winter schedule include badminton, basketball, dance, indoor soccer and volleyball.

“My heart goes out to all our student athletes, coaches, staff and supporters as we share in the finality of this decision yet deal with our disappointment in different ways,” said Director, Sport and Recreation Gillian McCullough. “As always, our collective support and resilience as a Sting family will remain strong and united. It goes without saying that this is a year like no other, but I am encouraged by our collective hope, optimism, belief, drive and positive energy. We are up for the challenge and will get through this together so that when we get back at it, we will be prepared, and grateful for the opportunity to do what we know and love.”
