Cross Country Ontario's High Performance program promotes the development of high performing athletes to represent Ontario as well as Canada on the international scene.
We do this by:
Establishing criteria for the Ontario Cup race series to provide experience to Ontario athletes and to function as a basis for athlete selection
Setting selection criteria for various Ontario teams and for Carding under the Ontario Athlete Assistance Program (OAAP)
Organizing dry-land and on-snow training camps
Providing coaching for Ontario teams at National Championships, national-level selection races, and Canada Winter Games
Supporting the National Development Centre in Thunder Bay.
The NDC sits at the top of the HP pyramid in Ontario.
It is the only training centre in Ontario that is sanctioned by CCO and CCC and that receives funding from CCO, CCC and the Ontario government.
