Northumberland-Quinte West For Immediate Release February 23, 2017 Ontario Seniors Shine at Ontario 55+ Winter Games in Cobourg Province Celebrates Seniors Who Participated In Games Ontario and MPP Rinaldi are celebrating all seniors who participated in the Ontario 55+ Winter Games, making the 2017 games one of the best ever. The Cobourg 2017 Ontario 55+ Winter Games were contested at 11 venues throughout Northumberland County, Durham Region and the City of Peterborough. Approximately 1,000 Ontario participants competed in ten different events, including ice hockey, curling, badminton and volleyball. Ontario is supporting the Games under the Ontario Games program, which is part of Game ON - The Ontario Government's Sport Plan to help more Ontarians participate and excel in sport. Game ON recognizes the many ways organized sport can be good for people and communities, from the health benefits of physical activity to the economic benefits of hosting multi-sport events. Game ON is one of the many legacies of the 2015 Toronto Pan Am/Parapan Am Games. Investing in our amateur sport system is part of the government’s plan to create jobs, grow our economy and help people in their everyday lives. QUOTES "Ontario salutes all the seniors, coaches and volunteers who participated in 2017 Ontario 55+ Winter Games.

It is with the success and lasting legacy of the Games in mind that I want to share my action plan for amateur sport in Ontario – a plan I am calling Game ON . Through the three pillars of participation, development and excellence, I believe we can ensure that girls and boys from diverse backgrounds and of all abilities have the opportunity to lead healthy active lives, develop new skills, and learn lessons that will support them in every aspect of life . Inspired by watching the Games in their own backyard, I want our youth to have a best-in-class amateur sport system from the playground to podium .

Abstract Folk sports are the countertype of modern sports: invented traditions, bolstered by tangible ritual and intangible myth, played by the common folk in order to express a romantic ethnic identity. Like other cultural forms, traditional sports and games around the world are becoming marginalized in the face of modernization and globalization. In 2003, UNESCO ratified the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in an attempt to counter such trends of cultural homogenization. As elements of intangible cultural heritage, folk sports now fall under the auspices of UNESCO safeguarding policies.
