OCOA Officer Award Recipients

Congratulations to these Officers for their accomplishments. It is likely that none of the recipients sought recognition and in some cases they may be embarrassed by the attention. We have a long proud history of serving the people of Ontario, and our Association would like to highlight these accomplishments, which have been recommended by their peers.
