The OAFC is pleased to announce that we have finalized the OAFC's Report on the provincial government's proposed Certification Regulation.

This Report encompasses everything we heard from our members throughout our consultation process.  It is the culmination of two all-member townhall sessions, twelve Provincial Advisory Committee meetings - of which nearly 550 OAFC members participated in, countless phone conversations and meetings, and the feedback you provided through our website or directly to Executive Director, Mark Tishman.
