Gained federal not-for-profit status in Canada, in November 2016; began selling t-shirts as a way to visually unite the synchro community, and donated 50% of the initial proceeds to synchronized skating teams. By the end of Y1, 1500+ community members in 15 countries owned our signature t-shirts. T-shirt sales funded our way into synchro competitions, to promote sportsmanship via poster-signing activities and a global flashmob, seen and performed by 10,000+ skaters, fans and judges. Through community consultation, we discovered there was a need for greater Awareness outside of the sport, and Education & Connection within the sport.

We hosted our first 2 synchronized skating development camps in USA and Canada. 3000+ community members in 22 Countries are now rocking signature OTM apparel. We hosted skate giveaways and other activations to benefit the synchro community at the Junior and Senior World Championships and beyond!

400 individuals participated in #OTMcamp19 across 3 countries; Australia, USA, and Canada. Our first-ever Australasia camp was supported by the International Skating Union, and delivered in partnership with Ice Skating Australia and New Zealand Ice Figure Skating Association. Our community-based activities reached 40,000 skaters and fans at events in Canada, USA, Finland, France, United Kingdom, and Netherlands. 

The year of the pivot. 2700 participants in our first-ever FREE virtual "camp" in April 2021; fundraised for UNICEF's global relief efforts to aid children through the COVID-19 pandemic; hosted over 100 virtual synchro off-ice classes and seminars over 5 months, to support the ongoing development of skaters and coaches during the pandemic; Skate Canada supported over 30 of their teams to participate in our "Virtual Season Kick-Off" program; OTM partnered with Jura Synchro to launch "Faces of Synchro" to highlight diversity and promote inclusivity in our sport. Prior to the pandemic, we organized free community activities at Synchro Nationals in Canada and the USA, and at the Junior World Championships in Nottingham, and various regional competitions organized by ambassadors in Canada, USA, Italy, Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.
