OAAS 175th Anniversary

A glimpse into the past provides a great deal of insight into the present. The OAAS is 175 years old this year!
Glancing at our history emphasizes the reality of the transformative change that has taken place for the Provincial body of the Agricultural Societies in Ontario and what is yet to come.  

 

 This is the official members' website for the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies.  The OAAS is the provincial association representing over 200 Agricultural Societies from across the province.  Its mission is a resource for its Members, by providing leadership through communication and education and encouraging the promotion of a rural way of life in Ontario.

Please keep in mind that the schedule is subject to change.

The OAAS is always grateful for the volunteers that support the annual Convention and with just a short time until the 2022 OAAS Convention arrives, we are certainly looking for a few volunteers to spare a few hours while at the Convention.

Volunteer opportunities at the Convention Registration desk, Historical Room, Auction Room and with the Speakers and Seminar are the key areas where we are looking for a little assistance.

Dear Ontario Fair Friends,

The Government of Ontario shared their plan to reopen the province safely and gradually with the “Steps to Cautiously and Gradually Ease Public Health Measures”, earlier last week, and the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS) was relieved to see the capacity restrictions in the event centres were set at 50%, which makes the hosting an in-person event a little more realistic.  

Since that announcement, the OAAS Executive and Board of Directors have met, and through consultation with the Sheraton Parkway Hotel, Toronto North, the OAAS is thrilled to announce the 2022 OAAS Convention will be taking place, in person, on February 17-19, however, we must limit our registration to 600 attendees to be able to accommodate the capacity limits.
