Changes in the O.A.A.

[Joey Costello]

I would like to take this time to thank the members of the executive that worked with me for the past couple of months.
Vice President
Dan Bellefeuille

Secretary
Lise Blanchard

Director of Communication
Joanne Lachance

And our IT. guy
Al Blanchard for setting up the new web site.

To make an Association successful you need to have good people working with you and supporting each other.
Thank you very much for your hard work.

Because of the changes that are being made at the CAWF level and ultimately the O.A.A. level.
We feel that the only way for these changes to take effect immediately a new executive would have to be formed and we would need to step down.

I personally believe that changes need to be made and I wish all the best to the people taking the steps to enforce these changes.


After talking to Eric regarding the OAA and the CAWF he has graciously decided to take over my position as President of the OAA. I know that he will do a great job as President and I wish him all the best.
With Eric comes Joe Gould as Vice President, Dave Campbell as Head Referee and Joel Goodsell as Secretary treasurer.

[Eric Roussin]

Thanks Joey.

I can also confirm that Guy Windover has volunteered to serve as the Director of Communications.

To Ontario pullers, please be patient as we do a bit of housekeeping over the next couple of weeks.

Stay tuned!

[Joey Costello]

Do to the major restructuring of the CAWF and the effects it will have on the rest of the provinces.
I see no reason to have an election this year at Provincials.
I will leave that up to Eric, but this new executive can hold their position until the next official election in 2015.

In the event that there is no Provincials this year. I see this as being the best course of action.

I have received many phone calls regarding provincials this year and I leave that up to Eric and his executive as well if there will be a provincials or not.
Thanks joey

I was with Mike G. over the weekend so if there is no Provincials you better let him know ASAP.
Also the MGC is now affiliated with the UAL .. so everyone better understand the rules,,Not that much of a change but there r some.. U can read them on their web site
