What are we doing about LTAD in the ERRA?
A public Q&A session was held on Tuesday, January 5th, 7:00pm in Room 202 at Walter Baker.
Read More >>> 

There is an Ontario Ringette Association LTAD Standing Committee Meeting April 17-18th, 2010.

From this will come directions on how Ontario Ringette will proceed with the LTAD implementation. The views that Eastern Region Representatives will be taking forward are the following:

We support the U-12 Provincials becoming a separate event from the other divisions. This will allow all three divisions of Provincial U-12s to compete at the same event. There will also be off-ice festivities in order to encourage the sense of community ringette is renowned for. We do not support any other changes at the U-12 level for the 2010-2011 season.

We do not support any changes to the U-10 division for the 2010-2011 season.

We do support changes at the U-9 (Novice Rec) division such as removing scores from all tournaments and replacing the final game with an off-ice party. This was piloted in Nepean and was successful and we believe that it promotes continuity in the region as there are no scores posted at NCRRL games for U-9 anyway.

We will advise the ERRA membership of any LTAD updates via the ERRA LTAD webpage after the ORA Board meeting on May 1-2.

If you have any concerns, please contact either Kim Noxon (Athlete Development Coordinator) or Byron Johnson (LTAD Representative).

Gloucester-Cumberland News!

Click here to Send Email to VP Admin Gloucester-Cumberland Ringette Association

Hi Folks, as your webmaster I have been tardy in posting pictures and articles sent in by proud parents and the Executive. We used to have an extensive Teams Page here on the website.  After having been nudged in the right direction by our VP House League and a suggestion by the Acting VP Competitive, I have created a new page called "Bragging Rights". All Photos and articles that were sent to me over the season have been added. Although it is now well after the season if you have any photos or articles you would like included, please send them along. They will rest here for posterity. A link to the page is posted below.

Where in the World are We
(On 1 Jan, 2001, Gloucester & Cumberland became part of the New Mega City of Ottawa.)

Gloucester & Cumberland (and Ottawa) are located 200 km west of Montreal and 400 km east of Toronto.   We are very easy to find on any map of North America even without Names. Find the Eastern end of Lake Ontario (Kingston); look directly north to the Ottawa river, which coincidentally is the Ontario-Quebec border.  You'll see a little squiggly line in the Ottawa River that looks like an off kilter W... We're at the bottom of the right squiggle of that W...

This page was, and is, the creation of "Annette Loebach". Without her creativity and perseverance  it simply would not be.  As the new Webmaster, I'm getting to do the fun stuff. She did the hard work setting it up & making it work.
