Expression of Interest

How to Get Started

Any individual member, affiliated club, or team interested in organizing one or more provincial-level events during the following year must submit an Expression of Interest for each such event. Expressions of interest should be received by Ontario Cycling’s office no later than the outlined deadline on the form, any applications sent in after that date will no be considered for the first round of date selections.

All organizers who are hosting an event must hold a UCI licence or a General Membership to Ontario Cycling. If the organizer does not purchase a licence in the year applicable, their event will be immediately removed from the calendar.

Process

The OC Events Team will review all submitted Expressions of Interest (EOI) and use them to develop a preliminary race calendar, which will be shared with organizers who submitted an EOI.

To be officially included on the calendar, organizers must complete an Event Permit Application—available online in September—and submit the appropriate sanctioning fees. Please note: organizers or clubs with outstanding paperwork or fees from previous events or club activities will not be considered for inclusion.

When evaluating submissions, the Events Team will also take into account:

Commissaire reports and evaluations
Race attendance and performance of previous editions

Organizers who miss the EOI deadline may still submit an Event Permit Application. If approved, their event will be added to the calendar at a later date.
