OCTRA is in need of a volunteer to take over the Archives. Director Rose Danko has been our archivist for the last number of years, however she would like to pass on the reins now. Do you have an interest in history and some room to store some tubs of documents? If interested, please contact Rose to get a better idea of what this position involves.

Received by the Nominations and Elections Committee on Sunday, January 12, 2020:
“ I have decided to tender my resignation and terminate my term on the OCTRA Directors early, and will not be standing for re-election February 22, 2020 at the Annual General Meeting. My resignation is effective immediately, January 12, 2020. I’ve concluded my time is better serviced as a member in good standing of the Association.
