OCNA Independent Publishers' Retreat
Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic and the increasing number of infections each day in Ontario, the OCNA decided to go virtual with this year’s Retreat.
Thank you to all those who joined us Friday November 6th for a fun “virtual” get together, complete with industry updates and a whole lot of open discussion.
A big THANK YOU goes out to McLaren Press Graphics for their continued support of community newspapers and this event.
