The Ontario Blind Sports Association (OBSA) plans, promotes, coordinates, and sanctions events and activities designed to stimulate and assist the further development of sports programs for blind athletes in Ontario. OBSA was incorporated in 1984. The Association selects athletes, coaches and Support personnel to be members of teams representing the province of Ontario in sports competitions and programs for blind athletes, including track & field, powerlifting, goalball, and lawn bowls. OBSA also works to increase opportunities for inclusion of its members into able-bodied sporting programs. Swimming, powerlifting, judo, and wrestling have been integrated for several years.

OBSA provides a forum for the exchange of opinions, expertise and resources relating to sports for blind athletes, which includes media and public awareness. For more information:
