Congratulations to ALL OBA staff and Council Members, with your efforts we have raised over $500 and close to 1500 lbs of food for the Daily Food Bank! This is the largest donation this organization has made to any charity and the winners are all those who will have food this holiday season.

The recent challenge initiated by the OBA Conference Centre Team had internal departments going neck-in-neck to try and beat each other for the most food contributions and the results were; Professional Development – 570.5 lbs of food, Public Affairs – 503 lbs of food, Administration – 253.4 lbs of food and the Conference Centre had 160.2 lbs of food providing an overall total of 1487.1 lbs of food.

OBA staff have also collected two large boxes of toys that will be picked up by the Toronto Children’s Aid.

Congratulations for all of your efforts, the spirit of the season is all around us!
