The 19th Ontario
Summer Games kicked off last night at Lynx Stadium with thousands
of youth athletes taking part in sports such as baseball, basketball,
lacrosse, rugby, soccer and softball. It was not surprising when
the 3500 coaches, athletes and officials paraded into the ballpark,
they filled the infield with a burst of excitement and energy.

athletes made their way into the park grouped according to their
sport. Thousands of friends, family and avid fans cheered on the
young athletes as they marched in and settled down in the infield.
