Current conditions across the United States and around the world continue to create uncertainty for travel, large group assemblies, business meetings, and the l...ike. The management teams and board members from both the OHS and the AIO have determined to stop moving forward with plans to hold a joint festival of Pipes in Toronto in July 2021. Out of an abundance of caution for the safety and health of our members and their families, we have decided to postpone this event until July 2023. We send our deep gratitude and appreciation to the local planning committee for the hours of volunteer efforts in making this a spectacular event. Both organizations remain hopeful that our events can be held as planned in 2022 and 2023. We can all look forward to a virtual event in the summer of 2021 titled A Kaleidoscope of Colors. Details about this exciting presentation are forthcoming.
