The OSA brings music education to children in Oakville and surrounding areas. As part of the Suzuki philosophy, children are strongly encouraged to participate in group classes and a wide variety of performance opportunities. The OSA facilitates some private lessons, group lessons and performance opportunities at Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre (“QEP”) in Oakville. Occasionally, performances are also held at other public spaces in the community, including churches, seniors’ centres, shopping and community centres. While we want the children to benefit from the experience of performing in public and make every attempt to make sure the venues are both safe and comfortable, we want you, as parents, to also recognize the risks of performing in public locations.
By agreeing to these Terms and Conditions, I acknowledge, in my role as parent or guardian, the inherent risks with my child attending classes and / or performing in a public location. I recognize the risk of injury, albeit small, and voluntarily assume that risk. I do further release the OSA, its officers, directors, volunteers, employees, agents, and affiliates from all liability for any injury incurred during lessons, performances or other OSA events.

It is important to the OSA that our members’ privacy is protected while registering for our programs. To protect your privacy, the OSA follows basic principles for privacy and data protection.
We will ask you when we need information that personally identifies you or allows us to contact you. Generally, this information is requested when you create a user account on the site and register for our programs. We use your personal information for three primary purposes:
Notice to Parents or Guardians: we want to help you guard your children's privacy. We encourage you to talk to your children about safe and responsible use of their Personal Information while using the Internet. The OSA offers a Family Profile, linked to a parent’s user account. This allows parents to control the collection, use and sharing of children’s personal information and allows parents to enroll children into OSA programs.
When you join us, you provide us with your contact information, including your name, address and email. We use this to send you OSA information and news updates. When you register for a program, we ask for your credit card number and expiry date. We use this information only to bill you for the program(s) you order at that time. The OSA does not retain your credit card details.
The OSA will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal process served on the OSA, (b) make an application for grants or awards which have specific residency requirements, (c) protect and defend the rights or property of the OSA, and, (d) act in urgent circumstances to protect the personal safety of members of the OSA, or the public.
We will provide you with the means to ensure that your personal information is correct and current. You may review and update this information at any time in the Family Profile section. There, you can:
