The OTCC brings together arborists & industry members in this fun, competitive event.
The OTCC is open to the public and everyone is welcome to attend: watch arborists showcase their skills, visit a tradeshow featuring our favourite vendors and anyone can try out tree climbing at the “Fun Climb” station under the guidance of a professional arborist.

Cody Menken and Krista Strating!
