Passion and Pride: Driving Oshawa’s Transformation - March 28
We are proud of Oshawa’s passion for cars and the automotive industry. What could happen to our community’s identity when the Oshawa General Motors plant closes? Is this a chance for transformation or the end of an era?

- Dan Carter, Mayor, City of Oshawa
- Jennifer French, MPP, Oshawa
- Derek Giberson, City Councillor, Oshawa
- Wesley Crichlow, PhD, Professor, Faculty of Social Science and Humanities, University of Ontario Institute of Technology
- Heather McMillan, Executive Director, Durham Workforce Authority
- Robina and Celina Brah, Co-Chairs, COMM-Unity (local non-profit organization working on diversity)
- Catherine Richards, Manager, Culture and Centralized Recreation Services, City of Oshawa
