OSU supports Youth Sports funding agencies as part of 20th anniversary

This Spring, OSU has been pleased to make a $5,000 donation to the Canadian Tire - Jump Start Program, as part of our 20th anniversary activities.

OSU Club President, Bill Michalopulos was pleased to present the ceremonial cheque to the local Barrhaven Canadian Tire Operator and General Manager, Scott MacLaren.

Both organizations have supported many children within OSU over a number of years, and so it is fitting that the club recognize their efforts and contributions to facilitate sport in our community.

“JumpStart has helped make sure that children can access quality sport programs close to home. Since our inception in

2003, we have believed that no child should ever be turned away from playing due to financial constraints. Working together with charitable organizations, alongside our internal Help the Kids Play fund, we will continue to support youth in our community,” noted Club President, Bill Michalopulos.

East Nepean Eagles to host Senior Canadian League Championship

East Nepean Little League has been chosen to host the Senior Canadian League Championships in July 2023.

Teams representing British Columbia, Alberta, The Prairies, Ontario, Quebec and the Atlantic will travel this month to compete for the opportunity to represent Canada at the Senior League World Series in Easly, South Carolina.

East Nepean Little League President Bruce Campbell knows the significance of hosting a Canadian National event.

“The Senior National tournament is special. It’s special for the athletes, their family’s and for the city of Ottawa,” said East Nepean Eagles President Bruce Campbell. “This tournament is the opportunity for 15 and 16-year-old players to get one step closer to living out the dream of representing Canada at the Senior World Series. Every at-bat, ground ball, pitch and fly ball are important steps towards win- ning” Campbell says. “We are honoured to host the players who train for this and for their families who commit to supporting them along the way.”

Hosting this event shines a spotlight on both the community and organization but also reflects the passion and commitment of the volunteers, a hallmark of East Nepean Little League’s success throughout the last 60 plus years in Ottawa.
