Chair’s Message

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for attending our 68th annual Operations, Maintenance and Construction (OMC) Conference of the

OMC Committee this year. We have always enjoyed a tremendous turnout when our conference is hosted in Niagara Falls and this year is no exception.

Our conference theme of Adapt, Innovate and Engage is

especially applicable in the current economic climate within our sector. We are continually being asked to "do more with less" in our workplaces. The pathway to success is through adapting to the changes around us, innovation to overcome the constraints placed upon us and a continual engagement with our employees and stakeholders that we interact with on a daily basis.

This conference is the culmination of many hours of hard work

by a tireless group of individuals that make up the OMC conference planning committee. These are dedicated committee members who have given of their personal time to ensure that this year’s conference is once again a success. They have put together some insightful professional development that covers pertinent topics we face every day. I would encourage you to make the most of this conference by attending as many workshop sessions that you can and interacting with the great selection of vendors in our trade show area.

Once again, my sincere thanks go out to OASBO and the

Conference planning committee for organizing our conference this year. Please take advantage of the great networking opportunities that are available this week and I look forward to connecting with you during our time together.

Sincerely, Craig Young P.Eng, CPA CMA Trillium Lakelands DSB Chair, OMC
