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.

As 2020 looked quite different for many, and we move closer to 2021 with much still unknown, the OAAS would like to provide support back to their Service Members.


For 2021 only, with a paid membership, every Service Member will receive a FREE tradeshow booth, via the virtual platform and if appliciable the opportunity to submit up to two (2) videos that can be used for a virtual ENTERTAINMENT SHOWCASE, at no additional cost.  

More details regarding service membership and these benefits please visit the OAAS website.
