OPWA Past Webinars
In 2020, the Ontario Public Works Association began offering a number of webinars in lieu of our traditional in-person events. We have had an over-whelming response to these webinars and anticipate continuing these into 2021. If you were unable to join us for any of these webinars, we have provided following links to the video webinar recordings.
