There are many leagues playing football in Ontario.

The first league, the OVFL starts in late May and hold it's final in mid-August. A 9-week season with a bye week for each team. Quarters, semis as well. Two divisions: Jr and Sr, which are under 17, and 19 and under, respectively.

The NFC starts a week later and ends on the same weekend. This league has no age restrictions.

COMFL has a summer season as well. Same age as Sr OV.

The two-week hiatus between the OVFL/NFC seasons ending and fall football starting is very much welcomed.

Once September hits, minor football starts (ages 6-15), high school starts, and University ball starts. Provincial finals for high school and university go til late November.

So, basically, late May to late November, which is 6 months.

Myself, I'll probably officiate about 65 games in that time frame, about a game every 3 days.
