      • Youth;
      • Community & Industry Partnership, Relationships & Linkages;
      • Safety & Security;
      • Our Facilities;

  • Membership & Volunteerism
    • Any individual can become a member who is interested in the objectives of the Society, over eighteen (18) years of age, a resident of the province of Alberta and adhere to Policy MP-20 (Membership and Code of Conduct). Membership fee in the Olds Regional Exhibition is $10 per year (Canadian funds), paid before commencement of the Annual General Meeting in March of each year. The membership fee entitles the individual to the full privileges and responsibilities of membership, including the right to be elected to office and vote in the election for the Board of Directors.

  • Core Values
    • OAS' core values and objectives have remained steadfast for generations; this is evidenced by the fact that we celebrate the involvement of three generations of some families in our governance and operations. These core values are Agriculture, Youth and Community. In contrast to this perennial stewardship, OAS is also mandated by the Board and membership to welcome the future with a genuine commitment to being sustainable in Financial Security, Ag-Industry Leadership and Community Vitality.
