Amherstburg will host the best young gymnasts in Ontario next spring.
The Libro Credit Union Centre will host the Ontario Provincial Artistic Gymnastics Championships in April.
The four-day event is a qualifier for the Eastern Canadian Championships and the National Canadian Championships.
It will begin on April 5, 2018 and will see athletes ranging in ages from 8 to 18 who perform at Provincial, National and Olympic levels.
“This will be Rose City Gymnastics’ 5th time hosting the event. To put this on, it requires many volunteers, donations and community involvement," states Tom Deslippe, General Manager of Rose City Gymnastics.
The event is expected to draw over 1200 athletes and over 5,000 spectators to the town.
“Amherstburg continues to demonstrate that we are a tourism destination, whether it be cultural or sport”, notes Mayor Aldo DiCarlo. “We have an outstanding volunteer base and the administrative expertise to host any event and work to enhance the
Town’s strategic vision."
