Councils & Committees

At OHBA, our councils and committees are the heart of what we do, bringing together industry leaders, volunteers, and members to shape the future of residential construction in Ontario. Each council or committee serves a unique purpose, tackling critical issues, driving innovation, and supporting our members' needs.
