Jun 17, 2021 | 11:51 AM

Ontario’s post-secondary sports organizations are seeking clarity about how and when they can resume competition in the province’s COVID-19 reopening framework.

Ontario University Athletics and Ontario Colleges Athletic Association are meeting ministry of sport senior staff today and tomorrow about what needs to be done for them to return to competition.

The two organizations were not included in the province’s accelerated return-to-play plan when it was announced on Monday.

That plan set out a timeline for 18 professional and elite amateur leagues across six sports to resume competition as soon as late August.

It also provided athletes in individual sports, including Canadian Olympians who live in Ontario, with safety guidelines for training in the province.
