History of the Games

The Ontario Summer Games began in 1970 as a showcase for amateur sport; it has now become the province’s largest multi-sport event, including both team and individual sports. Provincial level athletes from the ages 11 to 22 qualify through a regional selection process conducted by the Provincial Sport Organizations (PSOs). The Ontario Summer Games take place every two years and are awarded by the Sport Alliance of Ontario through a bidding process and the Conveyor Roller Universal Roll.
