While originally slated to start back in early June, the Ottawa Lions are excited to announce the 32nd season of Ottawa famous Summer Twilight Series will kick off next Wednesday, July 29th at the Terry Fox Athletic Facility.
“After much work with valued stakeholders like Athletics Ontario, Athletics Canada, and the City of Ottawa, we as an organization are very excited to bring back some sort of normalcy to our members in the form of our long running Twilight Series,” said acting Executive Director Richard Johnston. “After much hard work behind the scenes, we were able to return to formal training just under a month ago, and the framework has been working well. Certainly, providing a safe competitive opportunity to our members was the next logical step for our organization.”
Next week’s event will be open to Ottawa Lions members only before the series expands to allow for registered athletes (both able bodied and athletes with a disability) from all of Canada’s provincial branches.
Given the ongoing risk mitigation strategies related to COVID-19, the Terry Fox Athletic Facility will be enforcing a 100-person capacity, including athletes, coaches, volunteers and meet organizers. Participants are to respect all physical distancing regulations put in place by Ottawa Public Health and those not competing or warming up will be asked to wear a face mask.
