Toronto – The Ontario Schools Cricket Association launched the spring school cricket program in Ontario where the much-anticipated 2024 version of the Premier’s Cup School Cricket was initiated and the Toronto Mayor’s School Cricket Awards were presented to Toronto school cricketers. OSCA also announced exciting new initiatives for school cricket programs coming up this year.
OSCA was established in 2020 to support the province-wide expansion of the Toronto Mayor’s School Cricket program initiated by the Mayor of Toronto in 2011. The Premier’s Cup 2024 will help OSCA grow this Toronto program across all communities in Ontario. OSCA is particularly proud of the partnership with the Toronto Parks Forestry & Recreation (PFR) and the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants [CIMA] who have supported the sport in every resourceful way, beginning with the very successful CIMA Mayor’s School cricket in 2011. PFR and CIMA continue to support the OSCA cricket initiatives in Toronto schools.
OSCA has been actively providing cricket programs to children and youth well beyond the GTHA school boards during the past year as well as capacity building initiatives in schools through the generous support from TD Bank, Rogers Communications and OSCA’s community and public sector partners. These students were able to engage with their peers to develop skills that will stay with them for a lifetime.
Ontario Schools Cricket Association (OSCA) is a not for profit organization formed to promote healthy lifestyles and opportunities for play among school children through inclusive cricket programs. Building on the community, municipal and education sector partnerships developed through CIMA, OSCA is enabling a lifelong love of healthy active living among school children through cricket.
