Message from the CEO
Dear OCSA Members, Colleagues and Partners,
Given the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our annual conference, CommunityConnect 2020, scheduled from October 21-22 in Markham. While we and everyone is hoping for a return to business-as-usual by this fall, we know that there is still a lot of ambiguity as to what that will look like. Our priority now and into the future is the wellbeing and safety of our members, their staff and the clients they serve. Our current plan is to hold our next conference in October 2021.
We will be looking into other opportunities to further engage our members throughout the year. We want to focus on providing our members with the tools and resources needed to deliver high quality services which allow people live safely at home and in their communities.
For those who have already registered, you can request a full refund of your registration fee(s) or ask that your registration credit be applied to the 2021 Conference. Please email your request to conference@ocsa.on.ca indicating your preference.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact Patrick Boily at patrick.boily@ocsa.on.ca
Keep well, and we look forward to seeing everyone again at the 2021 conference.
Best regards,
Deborah Simon
