OALA provides networking, peer support and training opportunities for First Nation Lands Managers in Ontario.
In 1995 a small group of Ontario First Nation Lands Managers formed an association to address unique land management issues and related common interests while providing a forum to strategize on problems and concerns. OALA was formed to support and assist fellow Lands Managers when needed.
This group was the first of its kind in all of Canada, and OALA can proudly say the OALA was the birth of Regional Lands Association organizations Nationwide!
