Ontario Athletic Assistance Program 2008-2009

The Quest for Gold - Ontario Athlete Assistance Program 2008/2009 (OAAP) is funded by the Provincial Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Health Promotion.  The Program will provide direct financial assistance to Ontario athletes through an “Ontario Card” designation. The intent of the OAAP is to provide funding to individual athletes based on their demonstrated commitment to high performance sport, allowing them to pursue athletic excellence at the highest levels of national and international competition.  How does it work?  In 2008-2009, the Sport and Recreation Branch of the Ministry of Health Promotion, allocated a certain amount of OAAP Ontario Cards to each eligible Provincial Sport / Multi-Sport Organization (PSO / MSO).

For further information please refer to the Official Quest for Gold Handbook.

In accordance with the OAAP guidelines, Ontario Volleyball is responsible for forming a Selection Committee and sport specific selection criteria to nominate the athletes for Ontario carding status in 2008/2009.

How much funding is available?
The exact level of funding for the 2008/2009 carding year will be determined by the Ministry after the total number of athletes nominated for Ontario Card status has been determined and the total funding has been confirmed.
