Oxbow & District Business Association

The Oxbow Business Association (OBA) is a group of enthusiastic business owners working together to promote our businesses, encourage new business growth and support community development. 

OBA members understand that there is more to the community than making money; we also understand how important a vibrant economy is to the well being of the entire community. 

By providing networking opportunities, and a collective voice for business concerns, local businesses as a group can do much to support the growth of Oxbow and the surrounding area. 

By working together, we all benefit.  OBA members are community leaders who believe in community, and who show their community pride by volunteering to put on events in the community.  OBA members stand out among all businesses for their commitment to community.  They truly help Oxbow be a great place to live and do business. 

Memberships are only $50.00 per year.  For your membership, call the Community Development Office at 306-483-2747, or email development@oxbow.ca

Monthly Newsletter
Together with the Town of Oxbow and the Rural Municipality of Enniskillen #3, the OBA sponsors a monthly mailout that features three businesses per month on one side and a Community Calendar on the other. There is no additional fee for OBA members to advertise in the mailout.

Signage Corridor
The Oxbow Business Association work in cooperation with the Town of Oxbow to operate the sign corridor west of Oxbow on Highway 18. Businesses have the opportunity to have a sign in this corridor, with exposure to hundreds of thousands of vehicles per year. Signs are four feet tall by eight feet wide. It is the responsibility of the business advertising to have the sign made and installed. The OBA rents the space on the signs for $210 per year (adjusted annually). Sign Corridor Application
