The 2025 Ontario Lacrosse Association Semi-Annual General Meeting (SAGM) will take place from February 28 to March 1, 2025, at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Toronto Airport & Conference Centre (655 Dixon Road, Toronto, ON).
This year's SAGM will feature league meetings on Friday evening, followed by a full day of professional development sessions for OLA volunteers and club executives on Saturday. The event is designed to provide participants with fresh ideas and actionable strategies to help elevate lacrosse organizations across Ontario.
We are thrilled to offer an exciting lineup of sessions and interactive forums that cover a variety of critical topics for our members. Here’s a preview of just a few sessions you won’t want to miss:
- Strategic Planning Focus Groups: Reflect on our current strategic plan and participate in aspiration mapping for the future to help shape the OLA’s vision and goals for the next five years.
- Club Insurance: Gain valuable insights into coverage for international and interprovincial players, handling complex legal situations, and the importance of Directors and Officers (D&O) insurance to protect club leadership.
- Sixes Planning for 2025: Join us for an engaging session to explore the OLA’s vision for Sixes lacrosse in 2025, with opportunities to share ideas and prepare for an exciting season ahead.
