Inspired by the recent New York heatmap thread, I decided to make one for ONT!
Note: map has been cropped because there aren’t any teams North/West of Cochrane
Team count is 138, up from 123 in 2023!
- 15 new rookies
- 4 returning teams (854, 4939, 5689, and 8572)
** Note: 8572 previously competed in 2021 while being based out of Afghanistan - 4 teams dropped (1374 [folded back into 1334], 6378, 7690, and 8850)
- 9 district events, up from 8 in 2023
- Lost Western, gained Centennial and saw the return of Durham/UOIT
- FOPC returns to Mississauga, albeit in a different venue (The International Centre)

Sources
Team data was pulled manually from FIRSTInspires/TBA, and I’m confident on all but a few community teams near district borders.
Event pins were placed by hand and sourced from FIRSTInspires/Google Maps- I’m no cartographer so they might be a bit messy.
