Ontario Speed Skating Awards 2021

Ontario Speed Skating has a rich history of outstanding nominees and recipients of the OSSA Annual Awards. These exceptional individuals have excelled in the sport of speed skating as skaters, coaches, officials, volunteers, administrators and club representatives. This year, we would like to celebrate our members who have shown the same level of excellence.

The 2021 OSSA Annual Awards will recognize the efforts of an individual, or group of individuals, from each OSSA Club that made a significant contribution to the continuation of the sport of speed skating during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you have any nominees in mind for this award, please share with your Club's board members.

Ontario Speed Skating will announce the award recipients on the OSSA website, in OSSA E-News and through our Social Media channels during the summer of 2021.
