Glenroy Gilbert has been named the male Coach of the Year in the city of Ottawa for the second straight year, after a record-breaking gold medal performance by Canada's 4x100 relay team at the World Championships. The female Coach of the Year is Cheyanne Farquharson, who is the head coach of the Rideau Canoe Club.

The male Team of the Year is the Carleton Ravens men's basketball team, after the team won the U Sports men's basketball title for the third straight season.

The Ottawa Lions U18 girls cross-country team, which won the gold medal at the Canadian cross-country championships, is the female Team of the Year.
