The OSCA Program Committee, in partnership with the City of Ottawa, runs the programming at the Firehall and has done so for 33 years.
2010 was quite the year for OSCA programming – we spent the first 6 months in Southminster Church and moved into our newly renovated Firehall mid June – just in time for Summer Camps.
Highlights for this past year include:
- Our clients stayed with us through our time at Southminster United Church – thanks to the church for being so accommodating.
- We moved into new, exciting space at the renovated Firehall.
- The number of people taking OSCA programs has risen considerably since we moved back.
- We are offering new programs like more Preschool Programs, and for adults - Zumba, Boot Camp, Groove Fitness, Mom & Baby Salsa, and new after school programs like Dance and Yoga.
- Its now very popular to have your child’s birthday party at the Firehall – you can chose from Sports, Dance or Pottery parties. Or just rent the space and do your own thing.
- The numbers for Friday Night Youth Dropin and Youth Dances have grown considerably.
Volunteer roles
The OSCA Program Committee is a fun and creative group of community members who have committed to help funnel community feedback and to suggest new program initiatives to Staff.
With the expansion of the Firehall, we hope to expand programming and try new programs every term so we can always really use more members, either at large or helping out with one particular area- for example we really need someone with a marketing background.
