OCA 2022 License Membership is Live!
What we did and learned in 2021
The OCA implemented several membership initiatives for the 2021 season to help re-start cycling following the 2020 shutdown. These included providing individual membership and club/team affiliation credits and permitting the use of Citizen Permits at all provincial level racing including Ontario Cup Series and Provincial Championships. During the information gathering done through the development of the strategic plan, there was a common theme which kept arising – which was to increase the efficiency of our membership structure to increase opportunities for participation in Ontario hosted events, and provide increased support for event organizers.
What changes are piloting in 2022
As a result of feedback, the OCA has decided to pilot a new membership format for 2022. The most significant change will be the replacement of the Citizen Permit with a Provincial Race License. This license will allow participation at all provincially hosted events including Ontario Cup Series and Provincial Championships, but you will still be required to have a UCI License for all national and international sanctioned events/categories held in Ontario. The intention for this change is to reduce the costs for those who only race provincially, increase the pool of eligible racers to attend Ontario events to help support organizers, and increase the efficiency of the OCA membership structure with the purpose of increasing alignment with other provinces.
