About Us
OFRC
is an incorporated, not-for-profit group of residents who believe in community. Our main goal is to raise funds through unique events and activities to see our recreational facilities thrive and our residents stay active and engaged in our hometown. We especially place high value on our youth and seniors. We strive to provide them with the necessary tools to remain happy, healthy and involved in our community.
How the OFRC began...
It all started with a report that was presented to the Greater Sudbury City Council in January 2013. Our community found out that our arena, I.J. Coady Memorial Arena, was in jeopardy of closure. A group of residents formed Committee, the I.J. Coady Memorial Arena Events Committee with a goal of raising funds to increase the ice usage at our Arena. The community came together and proved to City Council that our Arena is vital to us.
In 2014, we became the Onaping Falls Recreation Committee and incorporated as a not-for-profit. We began fundraising and planning for a splash pad in Onaping Falls.
Ever since, we have been advocating for the recreational facilities in Onaping Falls and have brought recognition to our community.
