About the Program
The Ontario High Performance Sport Initiative (OHPSI), was designed in 2010 to support a comprehensive provincial high performance sport system that allows for sustained success of athletes and coaches at the very highest levels of international sport.
The overarching objective of OHPSI is to identify and support Ontario athletes who are best capable of achieving future international success on senior national teams in targeted winter and summer Olympic/Paralympic and Pan/Para Pan Am Games sports.
The program also aims to build robust and aligned relationships across Provincial and National Sport Organizations (PSOs and NSOs), ensuring efficient and appropriate use of system resources, to enhance opportunities for athletes and coaches to train and compete across the full Long Term Athlete Development pathway right here in Ontario. This approach is intimately tied and aligned to Own the Podium’s vision and strategy to optimize a targeted approach to increasing Canada’s potential for future international podium performances.
