  • Special Events Committee

    The Special Events Committee is a group of people, both OSCA board members and volunteers, who love a good party. We organize events that bring the Old Ottawa South community together to celebrate and to have fun.

    The Committee runs many traditional events, such as:

    We introduce new events, too. In December 2009, we offered "Christmas Movies at the Mayfair",  showing Elf and White Christmas. The neighbourhood responded very positively to this new offering, and we hope to make it an annual event.

    Celebrations are also in the planning stage for the re-opening of OSCA's permanent home, the Firehall, which is currently undergoing renovations. We expect renovations to be completed by summer 2010 (dates to be updated), and then there will be a party!

    The Special Events Committee is always looking for new members, volunteers, and ideas.

  • Web/IT Committee

    The web/IT committee is responsible for the technical operations of the oldottawasouth.ca domain, website, and email, and oversees the submission of new content, articles, events, and forum discussions on the website. The committee also assists the office staff with their computer equipment.

    Part of the OSCA website mandate is to communicate with OSCA members, OOS residents and business owners, and other interested parties, the activities of the association. Thus board and committee meeting agendas, minutes and reports will be posted on our website, and partner agencies' material (OOSBA, HAPS/HAPSC, FCA, CCC, Carleton, CUSA) will also be linked with, except in-camera minutes and confidential reports.

    New members are welcome, especially with prior experience or interest in Joomla!, our website core technology, or experience in web design, authoring and editing.
