Area representatives
Area Reps are able to answer questions about homeschooling and about OFTP. If there is no Area Representative for your area and you have questions, please email reps.groups@ontariohomeschool.org
Area Representatives do not handle any unusual membership issues such as

yahoogroups. For help in regards to those enquiries, please contact the membership secretary.
Our Area Representatives' names, phone numbers and email addresses are listed
on the OFTP Area Reps page. The map on that page
is divided into 3 regions Southwest, Southeast and North which
are themselves divided into numbered counties. Area Reps are listed by main
region and in geographical/numerical order by county. You can also look up
