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.
