Cornwall to Host Ontario Strongman Championship

Lamoureux Park will certainly profile a lot of muscle this summer as the City hosts the Provincial Strongest Man Championship. The event, which will take place during Lift-Off, is sanctioned by the International Strongman Federation and is one of a handful of premiere Strongman events in Canada.

Brian Dunham of the Stone & Steel Strength Club, who was instrumental in bringing this event to Cornwall explained that “we can expect to see performances by some of the strongest men in the country. These are world class athletes.” The winner of this event will move on to Canada’s Strongest Man Competition and if successful here, to the World‘s Strongest Man Competition.

Events will include many of the conventional weight lifting events and some that have huge audience appeal such a head to head tire flip, a car dead lift, and even a transport pull !

Preliminary events are scheduled for Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm with the finals being held on Sunday from 1pm to 4 pm.
