The Honourable Michael Chan, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport

The McGuinty Government is proud to partner with Ontario athletes. Of the 15 Ontario athletes (and 1 guide runner) who earned 12 event medals at the 2012 London Paralympics, 13 (plus the guide runner) received support through the province’s Quest for Gold Program. Our government is truly honoured to have played a role in supporting many of you in your pursuit of athletic excellence.
You truly are wonderful ambassadors for your sport and for the Province of Ontario.”
