Standardbred Canada (SC), Ontario Racing (OR) and the Central Ontario Standardbred Association (COSA) are working together on behalf of their memberships to ensure the Government of Ontario understands the critical status of the industry and requesting a return to racing in the near future.
As part of the concerted effort, a joint request was made by SC, OR and COSA to Premier Ford, The Honourable Peter Bethlenfalvy, Minister of Finance, The Honourable Christine Elliott, Minister of Health, The Honourable Ernie Hardeman, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, and Dr. David Williams, Chief Medical Officer of Health to allow horse racing to resume in Ontario.
