Family Gatherings
Due to the growing concern with COVID-19, OPWSA has decided to cancel our Toronto Family Gathering.
Thank you to all of the families who were able to join us at our London and Burlington Family Gatherings. It was so great connecting with all of you.
Thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday, May 22nd for our Wines Among the Virtual Vines fundraising event.
It was a memorable evening with a wine tasting of two of Queenston Mile's wines and a drag show. The wine tasting was led by Queenston Mile Winemaker Rob Power, and featured the Queens of Queenston Mile Vineyard Katinka Kuture and Carlotta Carlisle, as well as a cooking demonstration with Chef Dana Cohen, the Scallop Queen, from Seasons 10 and 17 of Hell’s Kitchen on FOX.

On August 11th, 2019, families and friends came together for OPWSA's Family Fun Day with the Jays. It was a close game, but unfortunately the Jays lost 1-0 to the Yankees. While we couldn't pull out the win, we had beautiful weather, good seats, and we were surrounded by great people!
