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 believe 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.
