Snowboard will no longer be part of the Ontario Winter Games in Renfrew County. The Provincial Sport Organization for Snowboard says due to the fire at Calabogie Peaks earlier this month that damaged their snow making equipment, there is no guarantee that the course for snowboard could be built in time. Games Manager Cindy Burwell says the move is really unfortunate for these athletes, but circumstances are out of our control.
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.
