Not only will their support help us host an incredible event for all those involved, but it will also contribute to a lasting legacy for our community.”

London Hydro is no stranger to supporting major events in London. In 2013, they were a key partner when London hosted the ISU World Figure Skating Championships, supporting the sound and lights show, and luminating landmark buildings throughout the city, a legacy that is still being felt and used to this day.
“London Hydro is extremely proud to support the London community once again by sponsoring the London 2024 Ontario Summer Games. This event is a milestone in young athletes’ lives and helps to bring the community together as many visitors arrive in London to support the Games. We wish everyone much success and look forward to cheering on all the athletes that will be competing in this wonderful event.”
-Vinay Sharma, CEO, London Hydro
