Requirements
-
Teams may only apply for grants to provincial, national and international championships where a QUALIFICATION PROCESS EXISTS in a given year. Direct
entry competitions are NOT eligible for funding for that season, regardless of
whether a qualification process may have existed in the past. -
A list of currently eligible competitions is included below. The OVCA Board of Directors reserves the right to change the eligible competition list at any time during
the curling season. -
Notwithstanding, teams who wish to enter a direct-entry competition for under-represented communities (i.e., disability/deaf sport championships, LGBTQI2S or BIPOC competitions) may still apply for this grant.
-
For events that occur within OVCA boundaries, grants will NOT be available for teams competing in their home municipality.
-
An application for the grant must be received BEFORE the event. Grants will not be issued for events that have already occurred.
-
The receipt of the grant should be acknowledged through any social media channels the team may have using the hashtag #OVCAGrants. Failure to acknowledge the receipt of a grant may disqualify a team or its members from future grant opportunities.
