OCA launches Best Burb in the Southwest campaign

OCA launches Best Burb in the Southwest campaign

Following on the heels of CBC Radio’s Best of the ‘Burbs contest in May and June, which saw Oakridge selected as the best community in the southwest quadrant of Calgary, the Oakridge Community Association (OCA) is launching a campaign this summer to capitalize on the recognition.

Throughout the summer months, the (OCA) will be distributing “Best Burb in the Southwest” stickers to all neighbourhood businesses to proudly display in their windows and doorways.

As well, CBC Radio gift bags will be contested out to winners at community events throughout July and August, including the OCA’s Annual Stampede Breakfast on July 10th and the Oakridge Community Garden’s Open Garden on July 23rd, to name a few. These gift bags contain a variety of items, including CBC-branded t-shirts, water bottles, bandanas, stickers, buttons, portable fans, and sunglasses.

To enter the contest, Oakridge residents are asked to fill out postcards describing why they think Oakridge is the best community in southwest Calgary. Winning entries will be pushing on OCA social media channels throughout the summer months.
