Ontario Country Performer and Fan Association

The Ontario Country Performer and Fan Association (OCPFA) was founded in 2002 to support and promote country music in the province of Ontario.[1]

The organization was founded on the belief that by bringing artists and fans closer together, the industry could be strengthened. Award shows highlighted this fan-artist relationship.

The OCPFA ceased to operate on January 31, 2007 following a vote from its board of directors.
