The COVID-19 pandemic has forced Ontario University Athletics (OUA) to cancel its championships for this school year.
The OUA has announced the cancellation of all OUA-sanctioned sport programming and championships until at least the end of next March.
“The health of our student-athletes, coaches, administrators, officials, and fans remains OUA’s number one priority,” said Dr. Deborah MacLatchy, chair of the OUA board of directors. “After significant consultation with our members and advisors, we have determined that OUA sport cannot be delivered prior to March 31.”
The OUA says it will continue to monitor the status of the pandemic across the province.
The #OUA, under the direction of its Board of Directors, announces the cancellation of all OUA-sanctioned sport programming and championships up to March 31, 2021.
