The Art Hawkins Development Fund's purpose is to support the accessibility and development of Ultimate and Spirit of the Game in Canada with children, youth, and those with a disability, especially in economically disadvantaged communities. Learn more about the late Art Hawkins, the namesake, and his contribution to Ultimate in Canada.
This year, our game will take place at 4pm-6pm at UPI. All are welcome to come support, donate, and throw a disc in honour of Art Hawkins.
Donations for the game are being accepted through this Ultimate Canada donation form and directly through local Ultimate communities - cash donations will be accepted on-site June 10.

Hey OCUA members!
The kick-off to the Summer 2023 season is right around the corner, so here are a few updates, reminders, & tidbits:
- We are waiting on the City for confirmation that city fields will open on time (May 15). Without official word from the city we delayed planning a bit, however we are hopeful that word will come in soon. As such, we are moving ahead with things as though they will.
- If city fields DO NOT open (which we have no control over) we will notify all Captains right away and ask that you share with your teammates. If there is a delay we will share what the next steps are at that time.
- Each day, OCUA post the official “game call” by 3pm - posted on the top right corner of www.ocua.ca
- Schedules are being worked on by league coordinators. For at least the first 4 weeks, games start at 6:45. When/if game start times are changed league coordinators will notify team captains.
- Don’t forget to submit your game reports & spirit scores!
And last but certainly not least,
- Have an AMAZING summer filled with Ultimate fun!
