O’Briens back in person

The O’Brien Awards Black-Tie Gala is Canadian harness racing’s most prestigious event and Standardbred Canada (SC) is pleased to announce that the 2022 awards will be a ‘live’ event at the Hilton Mississauga/Meadowvale Hotel on Saturday, Feb. 4, 2023.

After two years of presenting online virtual galas, the Canadian harness racing industry will be back at the Hilton to celebrate and honour the stars of the sport for 2022!  The theme of the event will be “A Night Among The Stars” featuring gold and black décor.  Winners from the last two years who missed out on attending a live event will also be invited to attend – making it a real Night Among The Stars!

Each year, not unlike what we see on the Red Carpet at the Oscars, the guests outdo themselves with incredibly stunning, glamourous, and sometimes jaw-dropping gowns and tuxedos. You never know what fashion statements to expect at the O’Brien Awards, but year after year, it never seems to disappoint.

The 2022 O’Brien Awards Black Tie Gala takes place on Saturday, February 4, 2023, at the Hilton Mississauga / Meadowvale. Tickets and program ads are now on sale and can be ordered by contacting SC’s Member and Stakeholder Relations Department at 905-858-3060 x243. Tickets are $200+HST and tables of eight or 10 can also be reserved.

Hotel Reservation Details: Contact the hotel directly at 1 (855) 757-4862 (in Canada and the U.S.). To obtain our room rate of $129+ tax please reserve before January 13 and ask for the Standardbred Canada rate. You can also reserve a room with the special rate online through this link.
