ABOUT ONVI

The Ontario Native Volleyball Invitational (ONVI) brings together teams from across Ontario to compete in a friendly, yet competitive invitational tournament. Youth ages 13-18 travel with their teams and family members to compete and have fun. With a number of cultural and leadership activities offered throughout the entire tournament, ONVI builds confidence, creates friendships and strengthens communities, while creating opportunities for Indigenous youth to participate in competitive sport with their peers. The ONVI is also an identifier for participation in the North American Indigenous Games (NAIG).

The 2023 Ontario Native Basketball Invitational will take place in Thunder Bay, Ontario from March 3-5, 2023.
