PRESENTATION BY NANCY EGELTON

We are pleased to have speaker, Nancy Egelton, the current President of CAOAC (Canadian Association of Aquarium Clubs) and the TCGG (Trans Canada Guppy Group) for September’s presentation. Nancy is very much involved in the aquarium hobby, leading the governing body of all Canadian aquarium clubs (CAOAC) and is well known for upholding and judging the proper standards when raising and showing guppies. She will also be bringing some “goodies” from the Trans Canada Guppy Group!

3 Reasons to become an ovas member

If you haven’t purchased a membership yet, here are 3 reasons why it’s worth doing!

1. Meet Other Hobbyists

OVAS meetings are a great place to meet and socialize with other hobbyists, to compare notes, trade plants and fish, and to learn something new. OVAS members are a fine group of people who are happy to share their knowledge and experience.

Whether you are new to the hobby or a seasoned expert, you will always find friendly faces who are more than happy to answer questions or help solve a problem. Our members include saltwater and freshwater enthusiasts, and we also have an ever-growing number of plantaholics on board!

2. Learn More About the Hobby

You don’t need to be a member to attend meetings and events but you should consider joining anyway. Membership dues are what make auctions, speakers, seminars, meetings, etc., possible. Dues are only $20/year.

OVAS also supports and encourages the hobby in various ways. Most recently, we have begun encouraging young people to enjoy the hobby through classroom tank donations made possible through membership dues and OVAS sponsors.

3. Enjoy the Benefits of Membership

Members enjoy a 10% DISCOUNT at Big Al’s (East), Critter Jungle (West), La Niche & Moi (Gatineau), and at Ponds & Aquaria (Kinburn). For many of us, the 10% discount more than pays for the membership every year.

You can become a member by joining online or in-person at any OVAS meeting or event (cash only).
