It’s been an easy adjustment transfer from Whitby to the Red Barn. “It’s been very smooth” remarked Stephen Hambley a veteran Optimist volunteer. He continued to say the atmosphere and professional  business practises displays make it easy to operated at the new venue. He credits the co-operation from Frank Sobil for the transfer from Whitby to Oshawa a easy and correction decision we’ve ever made.

The Oshawa Optimist have secured three additional dates under lottery license number M692029. Dates include Oct. 12, Nov 19 and Dec. 22.
