100th Anniversary
Planning has begun!
We are working to bring a variety of events and activities to mark the celebration of our 100th anniversary.
There are several ways to participate in the celebration, from joining the Community Centennial Committee to taking part in events and plans leading up to and throughout the anniversary year.
Watch for details coming soon.
Oshawa's history
On March 8, 1924, Oshawa received “City” status with a population of 15,545. In 2024, the City of Oshawa will celebrate its 100th anniversary, and we hope you will join us.
Oshawa has grown and evolved since it became a City in 1924, and recognizing this milestone will create an opportunity to reflect on where the City has come from and look ahead to where we could go.
