We are a non-profit, member-run volunteer organization dedicated to protecting and improving the quality of life in our community, and in our city. From September to June, we meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, 7:00 – 9:00 p.m., at Landon Library, 167 Wortley Rd.

Everyone welcome!

Events & Activities 

 
Gathering on the Green 

Each December, OSCO and the Landon Library fill the ValuMart garden centre with more than 300 Christmas trees for sale. OSCO and Landon Library share the proceeds, providing valuable funds for community projects.

 

Christmas in the Village

Gathering on the Green is a free, fun day of activities and entertainment held on the first Saturday in June, rain or shine. It is run by volunteers and supported by OSCO and local businesses. Gathering on the Green has donated more than $300,000 to projects and organizations in Old South.

 

Chili Cook-off

OSCO runs the Chili cook-off in Feburary/March each year to chase away the winter blues. With the best chili from local at-home and professional chefs, this is an event you don’t want to miss!
