RELEASE DATE:

January 25, 2023 

The Provincial Sport Organization for Snowboard has withdrawn from the Renfrew County 2023 Ontario Winter Games.

Unfortunately, the Snowboard venue for Ontario Winter Games, Calabogie Peaks Ski Resort, experienced a fire on January 3 which destroyed the pump house and damaged snow making equipment beyond immediate repair.

While the venue operator has been working on a variety of solutions, Games Ontario and the Games Organizing Committee were notified January 19 that replacement parts would not arrive and be operational on time to guarantee a quality course could be constructed in time for the Games.

“This is really unfortunate for these athletes, but circumstances are out of our control,” said Games Manager Cindy Burwell. “We regret this outcome and will be communicating further in the coming weeks about a plan to award Ontario Winter Games medals at alternate snowboard events later this season.”

The third day of the Alpine competition, taking place at Calabogie Peaks the second weekend of the Games, has also been cancelled.

The Renfrew County 2023 Ontario Winter Games are being hosted by the County of Renfrew February 2-5 and February 9-12. The Games will feature 22 different sports with approximately 2,300 athletes ranging in age from 11-20, participating in both able-bodied and para-sports.

Hundreds of volunteers are required to make these Games a success. There are still volunteer opportunities, with more information and volunteer registration available at www.renfrewcounty2023.ca.
