We are a registered association&nbsp;established&nbsp;In 1947 and reinstated in 2006 carrying on the business of Barbering here in Ontario. Even with over 10,000 members Province&nbsp;wide, we&nbsp;&nbsp;continue to face challenges as an industry.<\/div>\n<div class=\"yiv7174076564elementToProof\" style=\"line-height: normal; min-height: 24px; font-family: Aptos, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; outline-style: none !important; outline-width: initial !important;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"yiv7174076564elementToProof\" style=\"line-height: normal; font-family: Aptos, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; outline-style: none !important; outline-width: initial !important;\">Membership&nbsp;with the OBA has helped to build a growing network of professional Barbers, reach outside Ontario and across Canada &amp; the USA to continue to foster&nbsp;Professional&nbsp;relationships&nbsp;with like-minded&nbsp;associations&nbsp;and other professionals, institutions that are hungry for Education, knowledge and our&nbsp;specific&nbsp;skill sets taught through our tried tested and true workshop and Seminar models that has proven&nbsp;extremely&nbsp;successful&nbsp;throughout&nbsp;the years. We have offered programs in Private settings or group environments&nbsp;contingent&nbsp;on the client's needs.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"yiv7174076564elementToProof\" style=\"line-height: normal; min-height: 24px; font-family: Aptos, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; outline-style: none !important; outline-width: initial !important;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"yiv7174076564elementToProof\" style=\"line-height: normal; font-family: Aptos, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; outline-style: none !important; outline-width: initial !important;\">In&nbsp;collaboration&nbsp;over the years with the OBA, The Barber Centre and its partners have&nbsp;successfully&nbsp;put together programs, seminars and workshops in Kelowna BC, Toronto,&nbsp;Mississauga, Hamilton, St.Thomas Virgin Islands, Barrie, Calgary and many other locations. Due to the lack of effective training,&nbsp;programming, and overall absence of Barber relevant&nbsp;curriculum&nbsp;and&nbsp;syllabus&nbsp;here in Ontario, we developed the most comprehensive hands-on program in the Province. To reserve our instructors for private or groups seminars or membership please contact us directly for more information.<\/div>\n<div class=\"yiv7174076564elementToProof\" style=\"line-height: normal; min-height: 24px; font-family: Aptos, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; outline-style: none !important; outline-width: initial !important;\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"yiv7174076564elementToProof\" style=\"line-height: normal; font-family: Aptos, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; outline-style: none !important; outline-width: initial !important;\">All membership packages are lifetime Memberships broken into 2 categories, OBA Cert &amp; OBA Intro.
