Being a member of OMHRA has provided an opportunity to stay
current with information and gain knowledge on current challenges facing
our profession. The conferences allow to foster those connections with
professionals and have proven to be very valuable.

Heather Griffin, Human Resources Generalist, Norfolk County
Being an OMHRA member is an excellent way to connect with a vast network
of municipal HR professionals from across Ontario. OMHRA’s conferences, seminars,
teleconferences, databases and e-mail alerts ensure I always have the latest information
regarding legislative changes, trends in employment and labour law, collective bargaining
data and municipal HR best practices. Having such a great community of experienced
municipal HR professionals is an invaluable resource for collaboration.

Joshua Doreen-Harfield, Manager of Employee & Labour Relations, The City of Mississauga
OMHRA is a great go to organization if you work in a municipal
Human Resources Department. They pride themselves on teamwork, knowledge
sharing and lobbying on behalf of Human Resources. They establish groups that
share current information on bargaining and arbitrations allowing organizations to
learn from what is happening in real time. They ensure that the Employers are sharing
information similar to that done by the unions to ensure that we are able to understand
trends and practices in real time. The seminars and spring and fall conferences are
fantastic for networking and learning over a number of days. If you work in a
municipality, board or commission, consider joining OMHRA!!

Janet Ashfield, Manager, Human Resources, City of Markham
Being a member of OMHRA is an excellent way to make meaningful connections
with other HR Professionals across the Municipal sector. The membership allows you
to stay current on topics such as employment & labour law, legislative updates and
collective bargaining data & trends. The conferences are an opportunity to collaborate
and share resources with other OMHRA members.
