OAAP Team

The Ontario Athlete Assistance Program (OAAP) is funded by the Government of Ontario, through the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries, and operates through the Sport, Recreation and Community Programs Branch.  The overarching goal of the OAAP is directly related to the Enhanced Excellence goals of the Canadian Sport Policy to increase the number of high-performance Ontario athletes selected to national teams and contributing to podium achievements of Canada at international competitions.

Development Team

The Ontario Development Team Program goal is to support the development needs of younger athletes who have demonstrated the potential to achieve international performances in the future, as well as athletes who were nominated to the OHPSI program and/or the OAAP in the previous year.  Nomination to the Ontario Development Team has no financial contribution associated with the program, rather, athletes will receive support to participate in sport-specific testing, training and monitoring.​​

NxStage Program

CKO Sprint Athletes Transitioning to the Next Stage
Athletes are focused on achieving their best performance and working towards a goal of winning. However, having conversations and doing research about your future after sport is important. Athletes can leverage their network and resources to prepare for their next career after sports.
