On Friday, September 30, 2016, during the Safety Event being held at Verdi Banquet Hall in Mississauga, several jerseys will be presented to the latest members of the League of Champions. MySafeWork's Rob Ellis will be on hand to present the jerseys.

We are currently working on the agenda and will send it out once it is ready.

As you all know, in the past we have presented the OGCA Safety Awards as part of the Annual General Meeting and Conference. This year, in order to encourage more members to attend, we have opted to hold the event in the Mississauga area. On Friday, September 30, we will be at the Verdi Banquet Hall, located at 3550 Derry Road East, in Mississauga, with a breakfast at 8:00 a.m., followed by the awards ceremony. We will also be having a ceremony to present League of Champions Jerseys and Charters to the latest members of the LOC. Things should wrap up by noon.

Watch this space for a full listing of the winners.

This year's AGM and Conference in Washington is sold out of hotel space, which is a first for OGCA! Next year, we will be in Toronto, and will make sure we have plenty of rooms on hand for those who are planning to attend. We hope that most of you will take advantage of the location and will make a long weekend of it!

In the meantime, if you haven't already submitted your proxy on the motions to be voted on, please do so now. On Monday afternoon, we sent you another copy of the proxy form. Please take a few minutes and complete it now! Thank you!
