Meet the Board of Directors of OARC

Following our Constitution and By-Laws, all are residents of our member homes across Ontario. All have volunteered their time and talents to serve on the Board of the provincial association, as well as being active in the Residents Councils of their homes. We thank them on behalf of all our members for their generosity, and we thank as well their homes, and the staff who accompany some of them to our meetings.
