Yet another major Canadian sporting event is set for 91原创.

Athletics Canada announced last week (July 20) that the Township of 91原创 will host both the 2021 and 2022 Canadian championships at McLeod Athletic Park.

The 2021 event will also serve as world trials for Canada鈥檚 track and field athletes.

The Township is partnering with the 91原创 Mustangs Track and Field Club in hosting the championships.

鈥淥ur many enthusiastic volunteers and fans look forward to experiencing the excitement of these prestigious championships and cheering on the athletes taking part locally and from across the nation,鈥� said Township mayor Jack Froese, in a press release announcing the decision.

The Mustangs had to get confirmation that MAP would receive the $1.5 million in upgrades necessary to bring the track up to international standards.

At that presentation, council heard that the 2016 Canadian championships in Edmonton attracted 1,154 athletes, 233 coaches and 88 officials, and created $5.4 million in economic activity.

The Mustangs had initially hoped to host the championships in 2019 and 2020, but both those events were awarded to Montreal instead.
