OVAS members are a fine group of people who are happy to share their knowledge and experience. Whether you are new to the hobby or a seasoned expert, you will always find friendly faces who are more than happy to answer questions or help solve a problem. Our members include saltwater and freshwater enthusiasts, and we also have an ever-growing number of plant-oholics on board![\/su_spoiler]\r\n\r\n[su_spoiler title=\"REASON NUMBER 2\" icon=\"plus-circle\" class=\"font-size: 1 em;\"]You don't need to be a member to attend meetings and events but you should consider joining anyway. Membership dues are what make auctions, speakers, seminars, meetings, etc., possible. Dues are only $20\/year. OVAS also supports and encourages the hobby in various ways. Most recently, we have begun encouraging young people to enjoy the hobby through classroom tank donations<\/a> made possbile through membership dues and OVAS sponsors. [\/su_spoiler]\r\n\r\n[su_spoiler title=\"REASON NUMBER 3\" icon=\"plus-circle\" class=\"font-size: 1 em;\"]Members enjoy a 10% DISCOUNT<\/strong> at Big Al's<\/a> (East), Critter Jungle<\/a> (West), La Niche & Moi<\/a> (Gatineau), and at Ponds & Aquaria<\/a> (Kinburn). For many of us, the 10% discount more than pays for the membership every year.
