Structure




OCSI has been structured as a loose, ad hoc, issue based umbrella type organization. It will function through email communication, with quarterly meetings. The Chairmanship and administration of OCSI will rotate through the five organizations on an annual basis. When an issue of common interest is identified, one organization will take the lead in developing a strategy.




The OCSI consists of:

Municipal Engineers Association (MEA)

Ontario Good Roads Association (OGRA)


Ontario Public Works Association (OPWA)

Ontario Water Works Association (OWWA)
