About the OMCA Public Web Site
This site is primarily a portal for the member's only and includes barebones information about OMCA. Teachers looking for resources are redirected to http://www.oame.on.ca where all resources are stored.
The OMCA executive approves changes to the public site, but if you have an item that needs publication please bring it up at a meeting or send it to any excecutive member.
The site is hosted by Blacksun.ca (expiry 2010) and the domain by look.ca (expiry Dec, 2012).
Feedback
The site http://www.omca.ca is hosted by Blacksun web hosting out of Saskatchewan. The member's area is an aliased First Class conference from the Halton District School board. Feedback on either area is welcome (contact Jeff Catania, cataniaj@hdsb.ca).
