** News **

We are excited to announce that Ottawa Highland Dancing Association (OHDA) and the Arnprior Highland Dancing Association (AHDA) have entered into an agreement to transfer the administration and management of the Caitlin Stewart Memorial Competition to the OHDA, effective immediately. This competition is dear to many of us in the highland dancing community and the OHDA is very proud to be associated with this event.  The Caitlin Stewart Memorial Competition is held annually on the last Sunday of August at Robert Simpson Park in Arnprior ON.   At the age of 11, Caitlin was in a fatal car accident. This competition was founded in 2000 in her memory, to help celebrate her spirit, and genuine love of dance. Caitlin’s mom, Renee, and highland teacher, Jan Oakes, will remain actively involved and we will look forward to Renee’s help at each competition! Please join us on August 25, 2024 at the Caitlin Stewart Memorial Competition! We are looking forward to seeing everyone! Click here for registration information.
