The Ontario Senior Games Summer Games are to be played in August 2022 in Peterborough. The preliminary tournament to determine who will represent District 21 (Halton) was held on Thursday May 19 at the Velodrome in Milton. Players were required to be at least 55 years of age and could enter both Mens/Ladies and Mixed games.
The tournament was a resounding success. Results can be found on the chart below. And, photos can be found here.
A big thank you goes to Petra Halk, Co-Ordinator, District 21, and to the many volunteers that assisted with making the even the success it was.
