ASSOCIATION ACTIVITIES
A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.’ - Henrik Ibsen
Oaklands Community Association is the voice of your community, representing that area between Cook Street, Haultain Street, Shelbourne Street and North Dairy Road in Victoria. The Board liaises with The City of Victoria and other stakeholders/special interest groups regarding land use, traffic, building, zoning, parks, beautification and recreation in the area. The best interest of the community is the priority of this volunteer Board.

Each year, the Board hosts its Annual General Meeting in early spring. The AGM serves to inform the community of the centre's ongoings, to discuss relevant community issues, and to elect new board members. Join us for a rousing discussion and meet the members of the OCA!
