The School Sport Provincials are the ultimate proving ground, but they don't have to be your final finish line.

This summer, your results could earn you a spot on the Legion Team—the elite U16 and U18 squad heading to Regina, Saskatchewan, for the 2026 Legion Nationals Track and Field Championships. Being selected for the provincial team means you aren't just an athlete; you're an ambassador for Nova Scotia on the national stage.

To make your mark count and try out for the team, here is the path you need to follow:
1. Become a Member by June 15, 2026.
2. Compete at the Legion Trials Meet July 11-12.
3. Submit an application form at the end of the meet.

While Provincials counts, sanctioned track and field meets are where you can solidify your ranking.

The Regina Experience: If selected, you’ll be on-site from August 5–11. This isn't just a track and field meet—it’s a week long experience of a lifetime. You’ll travel with the team by plane, stay in athlete housing, and experience the structure of a professional sports environment.

Selection Note: Athletics Nova Scotia can send a team of up to 38 athletes. Selection is based on a combination of your placing at the Trials and your ranking against the provincial standards. Read the full details here and see where your results get you: https://athleticsnovascotia.ca/legions

Congratulations to Carleigh Hiltz and Katie Pegg on this amazing opportunity!

This summer, the future of Canadian athletics is hitting the road in the name of long-term athlete development.

Athletics Canada today announced the athletes selected for the 2026 NextGen European Tour, a two-week international camp and competition block designed to put Canada’s rising athletes right where they need to be: in the middle of the European season, under pressure, and surrounded by world-class competition.
