Each fall since 2017, Oshawa’s downtown core takes on a deeply meaningful display to commemorate heroes from our community. The Veteran Banner Program, a collaboration between Oshawa Power, the City of Oshawa, and the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 43, raises banners across Downtown Oshawa honouring the service and sacrifices of local veterans.

“This program reflects Oshawa’s deep connection to our Armed Forces. Every banner tells a story of service, sacrifice, and community. We are honoured to help bring these stories to
light each year and I am incredibly proud of Oshawa Power’s support of this program.”

– Daniel Arbour, President & CEO, Oshawa Power


Oshawa Power crews raising banners to honour local veterans

Oshawa Power crews proudly erected more than 130 banners across Downtown Oshawa honouring local veterans ahead of Remembrance Day.

What you’ll see

  • 133 banners prominently located atop Downtown Oshawa lightposts.
  • Each banner features the portrait, name, and service details of an Honoured Veteran from our local community.
  • A display timeline from late October through November in support of Oshawa’s Remembrance Day Parade.

Why it matters

These banners provide more than just decoration for Oshawa’s streets. They:

  • Give local families an opportunity to share the stories of their beloved family members.
  • Recognize the service and sacrifice of those who put their country above all else.
  • Offer a tangible way for residents and visitors to pause and reflect.
  • Strengthen Oshawa’s ties to our Armed Forces and develop a local culture of respect and remembrance.

How you can take part

  • Walk the banner route and take time to read each tribute.
  • Share your photos and reflections on social media using #OshawaRemembers.
  • Consider visiting with children or students to teach our youth the importance of Remembrance Day.

We offer our sincere gratitude to the brave individuals who fought for our freedoms and for the great nation of Canada. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Oshawa Power employees rallied together on Friday, June 27, for the organization’s inaugural charity golf tournament, raising $20,000 in support of Hearth Place, a local cancer support centre providing compassionate care to individuals and families navigating the cancer journey.

“Care for people is one of Oshawa Power’s core values, and this event marks a significant demonstration of that commitment. Cancer affects us all, whether directly or through someone we love. Helping Hearth Place continue their vital work ensures that no one has to face these challenges alone. We’re humbled and proud to support their mission.”

– Daniel Arbour, President & CEO, Oshawa Power

Hearth Place offers support at every stage, from the initial diagnosis, through treatment, to grief counselling and recovery services for families. The funds raised will go directly toward these programs, providing much-needed comfort and care to those in our community impacted by cancer.

The success of the event was made possible thanks to the overwhelming generosity of employees, community members, and corporate sponsors. Special thanks to EnerFORGE for their sponsorship, as well as to Westmore, Brass Inc., Optima, and Jubb, and many others who contributed through sponsorship, prize donations, and active participation in the day’s events.

Our employees further demonstrated their commitment by engaging in silent auctions, making personal donations, and taking part in fundraising activities throughout the day, all in the spirit of giving back.

About Oshawa Power

Oshawa Power is dedicated to the evolving needs of our customers as a leading enabler of integrated critical energy and infrastructure. Oshawa Power is wholly owned by the great City of Oshawa.

About Hearth Place

Hearth Place is a cancer support centre located in Oshawa, Ontario. It offers a wide range of services to individuals and families dealing with cancer, including peer support, counselling, education, and wellness programs—all at no cost to clients.

Oshawa, Ontario – The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 43 and Oshawa Power have finished installing more than 100 banners across Oshawa’s Downtown core recognizing honoured veterans from our local community ahead of Oshawa’s Remembrance Day Parade and Ceremony.

Entering the 8th year of the partnership between Oshawa Power and The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 43, an additional 14 banners were added in 2024. Beginning with only 9 banners in 2017, the program has grown to honour 114 veterans and The Unknown Soldier.

“Originally planned to line the Remembrance Day Parade route, our program has received so much community support that banners have begun to line King St. as well. We are thrilled by the success of this program that would not be possible without the assistance of Oshawa Power’s team to install the banners as a community service. Moving forwards, we’d like to challenge our local business community to consider honouring a past employee or important community member that served our country and help expand this program even further.”

– Stu Jarvis, Branch 43 RCL Sgt. At Arms and Banner Coordinator

Branch 43 RCL Sgt. At Arms and Banner Coordinator, Stu Jarvis, presents Oshawa Power’s Manager of Distribution Construction, Kent Fulling, with The Royal Canadian Legion’s Friendship Award

For their participation and support of the program, The Royal Canadian Legion has honoured Oshawa Power with the prestigious Friendship Award for their efforts in delivering The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 43’s annual Veterans Banner program. The award, established by Dominion Command of The Royal Canadian Legion, recognizes individuals or organizations who show their support of the activities and work in the community of Legion Branches, Zones, Districts, and Provincial Commands.

“We are incredibly honoured to be one of the first organizations to receive this recognition from The Royal Canadian Legion, but for us this program goes much deeper than awards or acknowledgements. Our organization values the contributions and sacrifices made by each and every veteran. The individuals recognized by these banners are heroes in our community and we are proud to play a small part in helping them receive the recognition that they have earned.”

– Daniel Arbour, President & CEO, Oshawa Power

We offer our sincere gratitude to the brave individuals who fought for our freedoms and for the great nation of Canada. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Oshawa, Ontario – In advance of this year’s Remembrance Day Parade and Ceremony taking place at Oshawa’s Memorial Park, Oshawa Power has raised more than 100 banners honouring and memorializing Oshawa’s veterans.

Each fall since 2017, we have joined together with the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 43 to install these banners recognizing local heroes around the Downtown Core. This year, we had the honour of raising an additional 15 banners, bringing the program’s total count to 101 memorials.

“Oshawa Power is honoured to participate in this initiative with the Royal Canadian Legion recognizing local veterans. We recognize the sacrifices these brave men and women made for our freedom and proudly celebrate them as heroes in our community. Our team takes great pride in helping to grow this program and in ensuring these banners are raised high and treated with great respect each November.”

– Daniel Arbour, President & CEO, Oshawa Power

We offer our sincere gratitude to the brave individuals who fought for our freedoms and for the great nation of Canada. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

“Each year since we joined this program in 2017, we have had the pleasure of hearing from families across Oshawa about what these banners mean to their families. For our team, hearing from these families and playing a small part in recognizing the sacrifices of their relatives is a source of enormous pride.”

– Mike Weatherbee, Managing Director, Oshawa Power

With the Memorial Cup handed out and the Canadian junior hockey season in the rearview, we are proud to announce that as presenting sponsor of the Oshawa Generals’ Adopt-a-School program we distributed more than 1,000 pairs of tickets across 26 local elementary schools during the 2022-2023 season.

In collaboration with the Oshawa Generals, this program offers the opportunity to promote electrical safety in schools across our community, while recognizing students excelling in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This important, community-focused partnership is a part of a two year agreement intended to encourage students, promote public safety, and help grow the game of hockey in our community.

“As two long standing members of Oshawa’s community, the opportunity to partner with the Generals made a lot of sense as a way to encourage youth in our community to pursue education in STEM fields and learn about electrical safety. In return these students were rewarded with an exciting night watching our city’s beloved hockey team, and for many students this was their first experience at a live hockey game.”

– Mike Weatherbee, Managing Director, Oshawa Power

As a thank you for the tickets, many students, families, and teachers drafted handwritten letters to the Oshawa Power team telling us about their experience. For many students, this was not only a fantastic reward for academic success, but sparked a love of the Generals and the game of hockey.

“My son has never been to a Generals game before. He now wants to play hockey! He hasn’t stopped playing with his mini stick since the game. This is so nice that you do this for the school and children. Thank you!”

– Parent of Program Participant

We look forward to celebrating continued academic success in schools across our city while providing valuable education about electrical safety in our community during the Oshawa Generals 2023-2024 season.

One of Oshawa’s biggest community events of the summer, the 9th Annual Touch-a-Truck presented by Oshawa Power, returns on August 25th, 2023 from 4 p.m. until 8 p.m. Bring the family down to Oshawa’s Tribute Communities Centre to enjoy a free evening of outdoor fun with interactive displays and more than 40 specialized vehicles, including our very own bucket trucks!

Free for all ages, the event will run concurrently with Kars on King and encourages donations in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of South-West Durham.

“Oshawa Power is a proud member of the Oshawa community. We are excited to partner with OVG360 as the presenting sponsor to bring Touch-a-Truck, an engaging, informative and family-friendly event, to our community. We always look forward to showing kids and parents the important work we do and the safety features and equipment that keep us and our community safe” said Mike Weatherbee, Managing Director for Oshawa Power.



“After last year’s largest turnout yet, we can’t wait to see what is in store for this year’s Touch-a-Truck event,” said William Balfour, Assistant General Manager and Director of Marketing & Sales for OVG360. “We continue to be blown away by the ongoing support of community partners that fuel this event year after year and are excited to have Oshawa Power come on board as presenting sponsor this year to help continue making this event possible for the community.”

Join our team at the event to develop a better understanding of the duties and equipment required to power one of Canada’s fastest growing cities and brush up on the necessary knowledge to help keep yourself and your loved ones safe around electrical equipment.

For more information about the 9th Annual Touch-a-Truck presented by Oshawa Power, visit the event page on Facebook or tributecommunitiescentre.com.

Oshawa, Ontario – In support of the Back Door Mission, Oshawa Power staff donated more than 350 pairs of socks to distribute to individuals experiencing housing uncertainty in our local community.

When the Back Door Mission released a call for donations in October, Oshawa Power was quick to organize an internal sock drive to support our Bagot St. neighbours. Running for just under a month and targeting a delivery date before the harsh winter weather returned, employees were asked to donate new or gently used socks, with the company matching each pair.

“As neighbours we witness firsthand all the amazing support that the Back Door Mission offers to our community. When the chance to support their work arose, we jumped at the opportunity to contribute. We look forward to continuing to work with the Back Door Mission to help make our local community a safe space for all.”

– Jen McHugh, Communications Manager, Oshawa Power

Access to adequate footwear is an important factor in maintaining foot and ankle health, a serious but often overlooked challenge for individuals experiencing housing insecurity. Up to two thirds of the unhoused population will experience foot and ankle issues. These issues often begin small but over time can lead to more serious health concerns.

Through these donations, Oshawa Power hopes to help Back Door Mission keep our community warm this winter and support the health and wellness of Oshawa’s unhoused population.


The Back Door Mission Christmas Spectacular 2022

Join the Back Door Mission on Friday, December 9th for their annual Christmas Spectacular. Featuring live entertainment, activities for children, and a Christmas marketplace, all proceeds from this fantastic event will help support our community.

Oshawa, Ontario – Since 2017, Oshawa Power has proudly joined together with the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 43 in raising banners across Downtown Oshawa to honour and memorialize our veterans. This year, we had the honour of raising an additional 19 banners, bringing the program’s total count to 86 memorials.

We offer our sincere gratitude to the brave individuals who fought for our freedoms and for the great nation of Canada. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Oshawa, Ontario – Oshawa Power, in partnership with Durham Region, is delighted to host the popular Plug’n Drive Mobile Electric Vehicle Education Trailer (MEET) for a four-week period starting July 21, 2022. This free and tactile informative event combines a question-and-answer session with an electric vehicle (EV) expert and an opportunity to test drive some of the latest EV models.

Information and resources are available to help answer questions for those who may be curious about how to make the transition to an EV.

As one of the fastest-growing communities in Canada, Oshawa has some of the longest daily commutes in the GTHA. This event will help demonstrate the benefits of EVs, thereby helping to increase EV adoption. Recent MTO data indicates that as of December 31, 2021, there are nearly 1,000 registered EVs in Oshawa.

The month-long EV roadshow and discovery centre will take place at Oshawa Power, 100 Simcoe Street South. Bookings are available every Thursday to Sunday, from July 21 to August 14.
