RA Centre receives funding from Ontario Sport Hosting Program for 2024 Canadian U-18 Curling Championships
The RA is pleased to be a recipient of $100,000 in funding from the government of Ontario through the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport’s 2023-2024 Ontario Sport Hosting Program. This funding will support the RA as hosts of the 2024 Canadian U-18 Curling Championships.
Scheduled from February 4 to 10, 2024, this premier curling event involves 42 boys and girls teams competing on the national stage. Young curlers from across the country, along with their family members, friends and coaches, will be spending an unforgettable week in our nation’s capital with games being played at the RA Curling Centre of Excellence and the Ottawa Hunt Club.
“We are committed to delivering a rewarding experience for the athletes, spectators and our community, and we look forward to witnessing this country’s best youth curlers compete on a national stage,” said Ian Fraser, RA, CEO. “We are extremely grateful to the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport for their support.”
The Ontario Sport Hosting Program provides project-based funding to help applicants deliver national and international amateur sport events in Ontario.
“Our government is proud to support the 2024 Canadian U-18 Curling Championships through the Ontario Sport Hosting Program. We recognize the important economic impact that this competition will have on Ottawa and the National Capital Region, as well as the development of our high-performance athletes, coaches and officials,” said Neil Lumsden, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport. “This competition is a great opportunity to showcase and celebrate the talent and skill of Canada’s next generation of curling athletes, as well as leave a legacy that will benefit both the sport and host community for decades to come.”
The funds awarded for this event will be used to support objectives that build partnerships, engage youth, develop officials and volunteers in our community and continue to improve Ottawa’s ability to deliver national and international amateur sport events. Each of these initiatives will ensure that the legacy of this event extends beyond the conclusion of the 2024 Canadian U-18 Curling Championships.
