The top 4 men and top 2 women competitors from the preliminaries advance to the Master’s Challenge, a final event where the Ontario Men’s and Women’s Champion are crowned. These 2 top climbers go on

to compete at the North American and then the International Tree Climbing Championship the following summer. A trade show with arborist equipment is featured and spectators can attend this free event, as well as try climbing like an arborist in the “Climb For All Ages” under the guidance of a professional arborist.

🔥 Don't miss out! Registration for the Ontario Tree Climbing Championship begins at 7:00 AM sharp on Monday, July 6, 2026.

📣 We're getting exciting and can't wait to watch and cheer on all the competitors!



Here are some details you need to know:
Registration is first come, first serve.

Note that those eight climbers on the 2025 OTCC Masters List will have a spot reserved (but they must still register by the deadline to secure their spot).

Climbers must be present at the park for mandatory roll call, gear check and climber orientation at all of the following times: Thursday 4:00PM, Friday 8:00AM and Saturday 8:00AM (make sure you’re there on time! If you’re not there when we call your name, you’ll lose your chance to compete and we don’t want that!)

At the start of the event we will announce the number of climbers who will compete in the 2026 Masters (the number depends on the number of male and female climbers competing in each division – as per the ITCC rules 8.2.4)
