About OMHRA

Who Are We?

In 1963, a few eager HR colleagues met to determine the need for sharing information and the exchange of ideas on a regular basis. This group of nine met at the Walper Hotel in Kitchener and out of that discussion came the beginning of the Ontario Municipal Personnel Association as it was then known.

Today, O.M.H.R.A. represents over 300 members in almost 200 organizations including municipalities, local public sector boards, and commissions, and continues to share information and exchange ideas on a regular basis.
