Who We Are The Oakville Poetry Alliance (OPA) is an umbrella organization set up to provide poets and lovers of poetry with a one-stop clearinghouse for information about poetry groups, readings, workshops and special poetry events happening in Oakville and nearby regions including Burlington, Hamilton and parts of Mississauga. What We Do We help poetry groups within Oakville publicize their activities through a listing on this website and promote their interests through OPA’s membership in the Oakville Arts Council (OAC). A group with membership in OPA can promote their events to the community through the OAC’s website and newspaper advertisements and as inserts in OAC’s newspaper ‘Arts About Town’. The Oakville Poetry Alliance exists to support the poetry community in Oakville. It has no input into the workings and programming of any of the groups. For information on the specifics of a group, click on their name on the left column. The Oakville poetry community is indebted to The Town of Oakville Cultural Gants which are administered by the Oakville Arts Council The Moonshine Cafe Timothy's on Lakeshore The Oakville Beaver Paradiso Brick Books For more information about OPA email the Coordinator, Elka Ruth Enola at ere@sympatico.ca Web site design by PipeLink Associates |
