CKO Sprint's COVID-19 Update - April 8, 2020

Coaches and Clubs
 
Due to the impact COVID-19 has had on both clubs’ and athletes’ abilities to complete regular training, the CKO Sprint High-Performance Committee (HPC) and Board of Directors have made the following revisions to our 2020 competition schedule and Ontario Team selection process:

• All Ontario hosted events as well as events Team Ontario was participating in will be cancelled until August 12, 2020, including
  • Ontario Team Trials – June 6-7, 2020 Ottawa, ON
  • Ontario Sports Camp – June 20-21, 2020 Camp Ak-O-Mak
  • Ontario Tour (training camp & Canada Day Regatta) – June 29-July 5, 2020 Ottawa, ON
  • Ontario Summer Games – July 30-August 1, 2020 London, ON
• The decision on hosting all remaining Ontario events post August 12, 2020 (including the possibility of expanding current events and/or hosting additional events) will be made by June 8, 2020.
• An updated 2020-2021 Ontario Team selection criteria based on our revised competition schedule will be provided by June 8, 2020.
• 2020-2021 Ontario Team selection will not take place in any form before August 13, 2020.

​We believe these changes to our competition schedule and 2020-2021 Ontario Team selection will provide a fair process for clubs to operate their programming when it’s safe and appropriate to do in accordance with Federal, Provincial and Municipal government guidelines.
