GREATER SUDBURY TO HOST 2010 ONTARIO SUMMER GAMES

The City of Greater Sudbury has been chosen as the host of the 2010 Ontario Summer

Games by the Sport Alliance of Ontario. More than 25 venues within the Greater

Sudbury region, including Laurentian University, Coniston Arena, Centennial

Community Centre and Whitewater Lake Park, will host events during the second week

of August, 2010.

“Hosting the Ontario Summer Games is an exciting opportunity for Greater Sudbury,”

said Greater Sudbury Mayor John Rodriguez. “This event will allow us to showcase our

community and strengthens our commitment to the development of athletes at the local

level. I would like to congratulate the members of our local organizing committee who

showed the dedication and initiative required to successfully bring these games to our

community.”

“The City of Greater Sudbury submitted a very thorough and comprehensive bid,” said

Blair McIntosh, Director of Games for the Sport Alliance of Ontario and Site Selection

Chair for the 2010 Ontario Summer Games - Youth. “The bid had a strong athlete

centred focus which was enhanced during our site evaluation and provided the Site

Review Committee with a great deal of confidence in the abilities to Host this

prestigious event. It solidified for us that the care and comfort of the participants will be

a priority and we look forward to working with the Organizing Committee on hosting a

very successful 2010 Ontario Summer Games.”

"As a proud Sudburian I am very excited to hear that the Sport Alliance of Ontario has

awarded the 2010 games to our city," said Sudbury MPP Rick Bartolucci. "Hosting the

largest multi-sport event in Ontario will provide us with yet another way of showcasing

our community and athletes to the rest of the province."

The Ontario Games are the largest multi-sport event in the province, with over 3,500

athletes competing in a number of sports. The Games provide athletes under 22 with

development and competitive opportunities that will prepare them for national and

international competition.

"The McGuinty government is committed to the development of our amateur athletes

because they are role models who inspire all Ontarians to lead active, healthy lives,"

said Minister of Health Promotion, Margarett Best. "I am confident that Sudbury is going

to make the 2010 Ontario Summer Games an excellent and memorable event for all

participants."

The 2010 Ontario Summer Games will be funded by the Ministry of Health Promotion

through the Sport Alliance of Ontario, the City of Greater Sudbury and various other

funding sources. Greater Sudbury Council approved up to $250,000 during its regular

meeting of March 26, 2008, for the 2010 Ontario Summer Games.
