OSDP Regions
These boundaries should be interpreted first by the listed cities and then by the highway boundaries.
Using South Simcoe as an example, an athlete living in Barrie east of Highway 400 would participate in the South Simcoe regional training pod because they live in Barrie rather than in the Central East pod because they live east of Highway 400.
