Registration is now open for the 2019/2020 competitive season!

Welcome to all new and returning OCF Members!  

Registration for fall 2019 Boulder Local competitions is now open through our registration site: https://member.climbontario.ca.  

If you are a new member, you will need to create a new account and sign an OCF waiver before you can purchase a membership or register for competitions. You may also need to complete additional requirements as outlined on our website Registration page (proof of birth date and citizenship for athletes, and Coaches Code of Conduct and Criminal Record Check for coaches). 

If you are a returning member, your username and password will be unchanged. Please note that your username is not your email address. If you have forgotten your password, you can retrieve it through the system. If you have forgotten your username, you will need to contact registrar@climbontario.ca.  

OCF Coaches: Please note that there are new requirements for coaches this year (OCF membership, signed Coaches Code of Conduct AND a Criminal Record Check). Please review these requirements carefully on our website Registration page. Coaches will not be given an OCF Coach badge, will not be allowed into ISO, and will not be allowed to file appeals at any OCF sanctioned competition unless they have completed these three requirements. 

Registration Deadline: Competition registration closes at 5pm the Tuesday before each competition (note the change in time from 11:59pm to 5:00pm). Please make sure to register on time to avoid disappointment. Late registrations will not be accepted (no exceptions).
