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.
Update on 2022 Convention
Happy New Year to all Ontario Agricultural Societies, Service Members and Fair Friends,
As many of you are wondering about the status of the 2022 OAAS Convention, planned for February 17-19, we would like to let you know that the OAAS is still optimistically planning for an in-person event.
With the recent provincial government announcement, the hotel can make no further decisions until the upcoming 21-day restriction ends on January 27. We will continue to discuss the various available options with the hotel team. Based on the government decisions as of January 27, the OAAS will determine the format and the 2022 OAAS Convention status.
We thank you for your patience and understanding as we eagerly await to see what the next twenty-one days bring.
As soon as we have any updates, we will let you know.
Convention Registration is now open
