Brantford and the County of Brant are gearing up to host a celebration of active living, camaraderie, and spirited competition at the 2023 Ontario 55+ Summer Games. From August 9th to 11th, this vibrant event will unite over 1,400 participants aged 55 and above in 19 sports, showcasing the passion of Ontario's senior athletes. Supported by the Ontario Government's Games Ontario program, these games have become a beloved tradition, inspiration, and opportunity within the community.

The Ontario 55+ Summer Games have a storied history, with the inaugural edition taking place in 1986 under the name 'Activefest' in the City of Kitchener. Since then, the event has flourished into a dynamic showcase of talent, sportsmanship, and the joys of staying active well into one's golden years. This year marks a significant milestone as the Brantford County of Brant 2023 Ontario 55+ Summer Games proudly present the 19th edition of this fantastic event.

Powered by Community and Volunteers: At the heart of these games is the dedication of over 300 volunteers who generously contribute their time and energy to ensure the seamless execution of every aspect.

Pachi, the endearing porcupine, embodies the essence of the Brantford-County of Brant Ontario 55+ Summer Games. As the head cheerleader of Games Ontario events, Pachi inspires athletes and spectators alike. With a visual impairment akin to many porcupines, Pachi symbolizes the challenges overcome and the victories achieved by every participant. The red, green, and blue of Pachi's logo reflect Team Ontario's official colors, representing inspiration, opportunity, and community - values that define the Brantford-County of Brant Ontario 55+ Summer Games' ethos.

The 2023 Brantford-County of Brant Ontario 55+ Summer Games are more than a series of competitions; they are a celebration of life, vitality, and the enduring power of community. As the Games unfold, athletes and spectators alike will be reminded of the boundless potential that comes with embracing an active lifestyle and fostering connections. 

Good luck to all the dedicated athletes and may your time in Brantford be filled with unforgettable moments of joy and achievement!
