Expo Agenda
October 23-25, 2008
Orillia Ontario

It was very clear after hearing the Ministry of the Environment’s presentation at our 2007 conference; Municipalities must comply with the Provincial Policy Statement (2005) regarding disposal of “septage and waste in their backyards”.
This is a wonderful opportunity for the various levels of government, industry and the technology to work together to find economically viable, environmentally friendly solutions to waste water treatment in Ontario.
OASIS has kept the cost of attending the Expo inexpensive in order to allow everyone to be able to attend. For those wishing to attend the Expo portion, registration is $100.00 for the first member of your organization and $80.00 for each member who registers after that.
For those wishing to exhibit at our Expo and Conference is $385.00 for both the booth space and/or exhibit space at our onsite hands on demonstrations.
We hope you will attend and bring your staff.
