Please note that this list is unofficial and is subject to change pending the outcome of any appeals and/or any re-selection decisions made by the PSO/MSO Selection Committee or the Quest for Gold Appeals Committee. As a consequence, this list should not be seen as final.
Athletes who have not been nominated and who wish to appeal this decision can do so by following the process below. Issues related to the specific content or selection requirements contained in the OVA Selection Criteria are not grounds for an appeal and should therefore be discussed directly with the leadership of the OVA.
- Before an athlete can file a Notice of Appeal, they must ask the OVA for reasons explaining why they were not nominated for an Ontario Card. Deadline: April 14, 2020
- The OVA will respond to the athlete in writing by April 16, 2020
If the athlete is not satisfied with the the OVA's response, the athlete may submit a Notice of Appeal, found below. A Notice of Appeal will only be accepted from the athlete or their parent/guardian on the MHSTCI-provided template (typed or hand-printed, no hand-written entries).
NEW: Due to COVID-19, all staff are working remotely, and Appeal submissions will only be accepted via email at questforgold@ontario.ca
One appeal cannot be written on behalf of multiple athletes. The Notice of Appeal email must be received by MHSTCI by noon on the deadline day.
The Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries has scheduled the Appeals process to conclude and a final list of QFG recipients to be posted here by May 25, 2020. Given the current challenges with COVID-19, every attempt will be made to meet those deadlines however dates are subject to change. We appreciate your understanding.
