About Membership

By joining the OACAO as a member organization, you instantly become connected to a vast array of resources that you can access for your group or association. This includes funding opportunities, learning opportunities, access to an affordable employee benefit plan (OASSIS), and one of the best annual conferences in Ontario. Even smaller centres can benefit greatly from membership. Our active website directs you to business partners, provides up-to-date information and helps you find answers to your questions.
