On April 1, 2023, the Ontario Principals’ Council (OPC) will celebrate our 25-year anniversary. We will mark this milestone through March 2024 with several events and initiatives that celebrate and build on 25 years of quality leadership in public education.
We will host a Gala Dinner on Sunday, April 2, 2023 at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto as we celebrate the organization we have today, representing close to 5,400 principals and vice-principals in every English public school board in Ontario. Planning for this exciting event is underway and more information will be added to this page as it is confirmed. Follow #OPC25 to stay informed.
