A good week for charity by OCA & NCHCA members
Drive-By Construction Parade is a HIT with CHEO Kids
Well that was a nice heart-warming experience to witness the 1st-ever OCA-NCHCA "Construction Community Cares" parade for the viewing pleasure of sick kids both inside and outside of CHEO this past Saturday, September 18th. The parade featured 40 trucks, cars, floats with excavators and other machinery.

Being able to see young kids smiling and waving along the parade route confirmed to all participants that this event needs to be repeated bigger in 2022.
