20days until
Next ACA meeting
Welcome to the ACA ...

The Advisory Committee on the Arts (ACA) is a statutory committee of the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board. It's mandate is to provide input into Board policies and programs related to arts education.  The ACA supports the arts as a vital component of learning for all OCDSB students.

Members of the ACA include teachers, school board officials, representatives of local arts organizations, and parents of OCDSB students.  We all share a passion for the arts as well as a commitment to public education.

Monthly meetings are open to the public, so please join us!
