About OARA

OARA is a club of reptile and amphibian enthusiasts. Our membership includes passionate pet keepers and dedicated field naturalists, and ranges from beginners to serious reptile breeders and professional herpetologists. Since 1983 our members have volunteered for research and conservation projects and set up educational displays. Our public displays have been featured at the National Capital Wildlife Festival, the Great Animal Adventure, the Central Canada Exhibition, and Environment Week.

Shows

Throughout the year, our organization puts on several shows in and around the nation's capital. The shows are used to educate and entertain and can range from small "hands-on" talks to large booths. Here are some examples of our more recent shows.
