Sad News

It is with regret that we announce the passing of Helen Gurney who was one of the founding Board members with OFSAA.  Helen was a strong advocate for school sport and was inspiration to many, particularly female students and coaches.  More information about Helen and her accomplishments is on the OFSAA website. http://ofsaa.on.ca/webform/helen-gurney-memoriam
