Local soccer clubs and community organizations in Oshawa can now apply for grants to fund grassroots soccer festivals and youth sports events. Ontario Soccer is currently accepting applications for its 2026 Celebration Festival program.

The provincial funding is intended to support grassroots soccer activities throughout Ontario, including the Durham region, during the 2026 season. These grants provide resources for neighbourhood-level soccer festivals and other community events that focus on increasing youth participation in the sport.

Interested groups must submit their applications by the deadline of April 3, 2026. This program offers a way for local sports organizers to secure the support needed to run youth-focused events in their communities.
