Cancelled: 45th National Youth Track and Field Championships

The pandemic and related public health concerns have forced the cancellation of the 2021 Legion National Youth Track and Field Championships, originally scheduled to take place from August 6-8 in Sherbrooke, Quebec.

“It is with great sadness that we decided to cancel, however it’s our responsibility to protect our youth,” says Brian Weaver, Dominion Vice President and Sports Committee Chair. “We knew they might be some of the last to be vaccinated, and large gatherings are still not advised or permitted. We sincerely thank all of our Provincial Commands, our sporting partner organizations and communities across Canada for their collaboration to date.”

Next year’s 2022 Legion Nationals will take place in Sherbrooke, Quebec from August 5 - 7.
