Hello and Welcome,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee I would like to welcome all participants, family, friends and spectators to the 2012 Ontario 55+ Summer Games website
.
The Summer Games will take place in Brampton, Canada’s “Flower City”, from August 14 to 16, 2012. Brampton has a long history of excellence in sport for all ages, and we are especially proud of this opportunity to showcase the City’s state of the art facilities.
The 2012 Ontario 55+ Summer Games will host more than 1300 participants and officials participating in 18 scheduled events over a two day period. Events include Pickle Ball, Tennis, Slow-Pitch, Swimming, Cribbage, and Euchre to mention just a few. These events will take place in City of Brampton community centres and some private venues.
Participants can look forward to renewing old friendships and making new ones during their visit to Brampton. Accommodations will be organized by event in several of the city’s comfortable hotels, motels and college residences. Transportation will be provided to and from the Opening Ceremonies, events, Middle Night Entertainment, and Closing Ceremonies. I hope you will visit often over the coming months to learn all the exciting details as they are announced.
The Ontario 55+ Summer Games is a program of the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport. The Organizing Committee is working in partnership with the City of Brampton, Sport Alliance Ontario and Ontario Senior 55+ Games Association.
We look forward to presenting the best games possible, while sharing with you all that the City of Brampton has to offer.

About the Games
The Ontario 55+ Summer Games, formally Ontario Senior Games- Actifest began in 1986 and established the framework for future Ontario Senior Games. Not just a sporting event, the Games include both physical and mental challenges and plenty of opportunities for fun and fellowship. The summer games have grown tremendously and are home to over 15 sports, encouraging older adults to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.
To participate in the games, district Ontario Senior Games Association (OSGA) winners in sanctioned events qualify to compete in the summer games. Visit our District page to see if there is a district in your area.
Brampton was selected by the Sport Alliance of Ontario (SAO) and the Ontario Senior Games Association (OSGA) to host the Ontario Seniors Games Actifest 2012, now called the “Ontario 55+ Summer Games”. The name was changed in 2011 to better reflect the event and its participants.
The City of Brampton, the OSGA, the SAO, the Ministry of Health Promotion and the Brampton Seniors Citizens Council have partnered to organize the 2012 event.
