Don't wait until the last minute...Your LAST day to order uniforms is March 1st, so remember to bring your credit card and order your uniforms at the Party!

Martina Navratilova to open Outgames Ceremonies! Tennis legend will present the “Declaration of Montréal” to the 55,000 attendees of the Opening Ceremony
The 1st World Outgames Montréal 2006 are proud to announce that Ms. Martina Navratilova has joined their Circle of Champions. Ms. Navratilova will actively participate in the International Conference on LGBT Human Rights, which will be held for three days before the Opening Ceremony of the Outgames. The world-renowned tennis champion and sports legend will present the Declaration of Montréal with Olympic medalist and Outgames Co-President Mark Tewksbury at the Opening Ceremony on 29 July 2006.
"I am thrilled to be involved with the Outgames. Over the past three years, the Montréal organisation has built a new model for LGBT sport and cultural events, one that honours the past,
speaks to the present, and stands ready to embrace the future,” said Ms. Navratilova, internationally respected sportswoman and eighteen-time Grand Slam champion. “This model will result in the largest LGBT sport and cultural event ever held. This is why I am so proud to be part of this important development in the history of the international LGBT community.”
Almost half of the sport disciplines are near their maximum capacity, so participants are encouraged to register now! In order to offer all participants a rewarding and memorable experience, the Organising Committee of the 1st World Outgames Montréal 2006 has established a maximum for the
number of participants that may register for each discipline. Once registration for a sport is at full-capacity, the Organising Committee of the 1st World Outgames will study ways to increase the number of venues so as to host a higher number of athletes.
Once registration is closed, participants will be able to enter a waiting list. On this list, priority will be given to paid registrants. This will improve the chances of the Organising Committee to locate and book, if possible, sufficient venues.
"Montréal, here I come!" Enter the contest now! (from 16 December 2005
to 16 February 2006)
We invite you to participate in the contest offered by Outbyview.com, the exclusive receptive tour operator for the 1st World Outgames Montréal 2006. You could win a trip to Montréal to attend the 1st World Outgames!
