Comments:
The 54th annual Ontario Numismatic Association (ONA) Convention is set to take place this weekend (April 8-10) in Kitchener, Ont.
Organizers, who are hopeful attendance will reach into the thousands this year, said the convention is being hosted by the Waterloo Coin Society (WCS) and held at the Kitchener-Waterloo Holiday Inn. It marks the eighth ONA Convention – including the first held in 1962 – to be hosted in Kitchener, which recently held back-to-back conventions in 2012 and 2013. It’s also the seventh time the WCS has acted as host club for the convention.
ONA President Robb McPherson echoed last year’s sentiments about the association’s annual gathering and its place in the hobby.
