Adam Scott was the only Peterborough representative for the two-day tournament as one of 16 teams across the country. Schools from Manitoba, Quebec and New Brunswick were in attendance.

The Lions were in Pool A with Collége Sturgeon Heights Collegiate from Winnipeg, Mitchell-Montcalm from Quebec and Merivale High School in Ottawa.

They captured the number one seed after three round-robin games on Saturday and one inter-divisional game on Sunday before qualifying for the playoffs.

The last championship was held by Kelvin High School who are two-time defending champions for 2018 and 2019. Following their finals loss, Bowmanville has been runner-up for three consecutive years.

The Canadian High School Ultimate (Frisbee) Championships have not run since 2019 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

PCVS Start Website And Facebook Page To Bring Attention To Its Possible Closure

With the recent news that one of Adam Scott, Kenner, TASSS and PCVS will likely be closing due to plummeting enrollment at those schools, it should come as no surprise that the schools would try to build awareness—and drum up support—for why their school should remain open.

PCVS has recently launched both a Facebook page and website, Peterborough Needs PCVS, to educate the public about what's happening, and what they can do to get involved. 

This will most certainly be a controversial, heated process determining the fate of one of our schools—and one of the biggest stories in Peterborough this year—so it will be interesting to see how this plays out. The school board has a series of community meetings starting next month that are sure to be packed.

One (Or More) of Peterborough's High Schools May Close

Imagine your high school that you are attending, or attended, closing. Well that's now become a distinct possibility for four Peterborough schools—Adam Scott, Kenner, TASSS and PCVS—as Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board will review the possible closure of at least one of these schools due to plummeting enrollment at the schools. This is sure to be a controversial process, and the school board is welcoming input from the community at a series of community meetings starting in February.
