I just noticed this on ARRL's site for some new changes (new sections being added from ON) to Sweepstakes:

Here is what I copied from it:
SS" will hit the airwaves for the 79th year this November! What started as a simple on-air exercise to wish Hiram Percy Maxim a happy birthday has continued into the 21st cetnury.

A major change is in store for 2012: Because of an administrative change at the Radio Amateurs of Canada (RAC), the Ontario Section has been split into four new sections: Ontario North (ONN), Ontario South (ONS), Ontario East (ONE) and the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). With the elimination of the Ontario Section and the addition of these four new Sections, the total number of Sections required for a Clean Sweep has increased from 80 to 83 (80  -1 +4 = 83). We stongly recommen you update your favorite contest logging software before Sweepstakes to ensure you can log the new sections properly.

I don't know if it'll affect any other contests, like maybe FD or (NA) QSO parties?
