Arquivo F913 - Ontario Gymnastic Federation fonds

The Ontario Gymnastic Federation was incorporated in 1974 for the purpose of promoting the sport of gymnastics, the training of coaches, the organization of competitions, and the training of judges and officials. The origins of the Ontario Gymnastic Federation date to the formation of gymnastic clubs at the German Harmonie Club and at the Sokol Club in Toronto, which initiated the formation of the Central Ontario Branch of the Amateur Athletic Union. Around 1967 the gymnasts of Ontario began to put together their own association, the Central Ontario Gymnastic Association. By November of 1968 the name was changed to the Ontario Gymnastic Association.
