A Message from the OSF Teachers:


Celebrate Oasis Skateboard Factory!

Friends, Family & Supporters of OSF,

We invite you to celebrate student success as we complete the fourth year of the Oasis Skateboard Factory program! This message is to inform you of some information and events as we finish another highly successful school year, close the classroom studio down for the summer and look forward to starting back in September:

You are invited to our “mmm…SK8boards & BBQ” end of the year BBQ/Art Show & Sale/ Graduation & Leaving Ceremony hosted at Roarockit Skateboard Company on Friday, June 14, 7-9PM. Students will be presenting their brands for sale in the form of OSF x The Baitshop T-shirts & stickers, zines, buttons and boards…so come out and support our creative youth! The unique “Dream Decks” built by OSF Leadership students with mentorship by Ted Hunter and Roarockit Skateboard Company will be featured on display, so definitely don’t miss this event!

You are also invited to the TORD Championship Derby Event on Saturday, June 15. Seven OSF Student designed Derby Team Helmets will be auctioned to support local female athletes. These helmets are on display now until the event at Cardinal Skate Shop (940 Bloor St. West), so check them out!

Also, check out the newsstands this summer/fall for a feature on OSF in international skateboarding magazine Colour, and pick up Concrete Wave for an 8-page spread written by our students.
