This year the Ontario 55+ Winter Games are taking place in Huntsville from Feb. 3 to 5.
This biennial event, hosted in partnership with the Ontario Senior Games Association and the Province of Ontario, promotes active living and community engagement for adults aged 55 and older. Huntsville last hosted the Games in 2019.
“Huntsville is proud to host these games, which celebrate health, vitality, and the joy of winter in Muskoka. Our community has embraced this event wholeheartedly, and we can’t wait to welcome athletes from across Ontario,” said Leslie Hutcheson, the Games’ general manager.
Other than hockey, the event will include 10 other competitive sports, including curling, alpine and cross-country skiing, volleyball and badminton.
While Huntsville is recognized as the host, this event will be played out at venues outside the community, such as Bracebridge, Lake of Bays, Gravenhurst and outside Muskoka, in Burk’s Falls.
