OHA Committees

Active throughout the Province

The Ontario Horticultural Association is an ever-changing tapestry of local Societies. Some have been existence since the nineteenth century. Others are brand new. Every one is different. OHA's province-wide activities are guided by the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors. The Board includes Directors from each of OHA's 19 Districts. Directors are elected by Society members in that District.

Association policies and direction are set at the Annual Convention, held in late summer each year. Committees of the Board are established to carry out these directives. If you have questions about any of the committees described here, please contact the committee chairperson or your District Director for more information.
