History
Athletics Ontario (formerly the Ontario Track and Field Association) is a branch of Athletics Canada. Until 1974, Ontario was split into three governing bodies, Southwestern, Northwestern, and Central. However, there was an interest in establishing a more efficient means of developing the sport while maintaining a system which would still enable regions to have a voice regarding major decisions in the province. As a result a new provincial association, composed of six newly defined regions was formed in 1974, and in October 1977 the Ontario Track and Field Association became an incorporated body.[1]
Athletics Ontario is governed by the board of directors and led by a chair, currently Bill Stephens.[2]
