Rugby Ontario is presently working to confirm facilities for both academies in the West and Central regions for 2022-2023. Its relationship with CSIO has provided Rugby Ontario with continued access to facilities at the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre in Scarborough, ON, which has been the base for the Ontario Central Girls’ program and new home of the OBJAA.
Rugby Ontario has recently become aware of potential rental opportunities at the legacy facility of Canada Summer Games 2022 in St. Catharines (Niagara Region). Canada Games Park is a world-class sport facility, which CSIO will be moving into in January 2023.
Rugby Ontario is working on confirming the facilities for Canada Games Park; once that information is attained, the full schedule will be released.
