We Need You – Join an OSCA Committee or the Board

Are you passionate about making a difference in Old Ottawa South? Do you want to use your skills and knowledge to make your neighbourhood a better place to live? Then joining the board or committee of the Old Ottawa South Community Association (OSCA) could be just what you’re looking for!

The Board and Committees play an essential role in maintaining the vitality and livability of our community. Through sharing ideas and skills we represent the best  interests of residents of Old Ottawa South.

OSCA cannot function without the active participation of the community. By joining a committee or board, you have the opportunity to contribute your ideas, expertise, and energy to help make your community a better place.

We have a variety of committees that you can join, depending on your interests and skills. For example, if you’re interested in promoting sustainable living, while encouraging community dialogue on environmental issues, the Environment and Climate Action Committee is perfect for you. If you’re passionate about social justice and equity, you might consider joining the IDEA (Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility) Committee. Or if you have a background in finance or accounting, you might consider joining the Finance Committee or volunteer as Treasurer for the Board.

No matter what your interests or skills are, there is a place for you on an OSCA committee and your contributions are essential to the success of Old Ottawa South. In addition to the personal satisfaction of making a difference in your community, serving on an OSCA committee or board can also provide valuable networking opportunities and professional development. You’ll have the chance to work with a diverse group of people, including other volunteers, community leaders, and local officials. You’ll also develop skills in areas such as leadership, communication, and conflict resolution.

So if you’re looking for a way to get involved in your community, joining a committee is a great place to start. Your skills and expertise are needed, and your contributions will make a real difference in the lives of your neighbors.
