Art Hawkins Development Fund Purpose: To support the accessibility and development of Ultimate and Spirit of the Game in Canada to children, youth or those with a disability, especially in economically disadvantaged communities.


On June 14th and 15th, 2013, Ultimate Canada coordinated the nation’s longest Ultimate game for a fourth consecutive year. The Art Hawkins Great Canadian Ultimate Game is not the longest timed game, but instead the game that spans the furthest distance. It started in Yellowknife, dipped down to BC, travelled all the way to Newfoundland, down the East coast and then back across the country until it finished up on the West coast back in British Columbia.


This year, all funds raised were put towards initiatives that had a direct impact on bringing Ultimate to local communities and youth. A partnership with the Boys and Girls Club across Canada, as well as local partnerships with Christie Lake kids in Ontario and the I Love to Play Ultimate program initiated by the City of Ottawa all benefited from the proceeds raised.

The most exciting component of the game is the ability to bring together the Ultimate community from coast- to-coast, allowing players to participate in one singular game where the score gets passed from city to city. Inevitably you find yourself cheering your team on as the game makes its way far from where you finished your hour of play and the end result is always exciting. This year, the game ended in favor of the white team (274) over the red team (258).


The number of volunteers that ensure the passing of the scores from city to city, encourage players to come out and get the game starting and ending on time are numerous. Despite the thousands of miles between them, the games ran seamlessly and Ultimate Canada thanks you!
