Former OFSAA President Elected Mayor of Stratford

Oct 26, 2022 | Recognition

OFSAA extends best wishes and sincere congratulations to former president, Martin Ritsma!

Martin beat out two other contenders in being elected mayor of Stratford, Ontario on October 24th. He had been part of council for 12 years, serving two terms as deputy mayor of the southwestern Ontario city. Martin succeeds Mayor Dan Mathieson who stepped aside after serving for five terms, and 19 years, as the city’s top elected official.

Martin served as president of OFSAA from 2008 to 2010.

Best of luck, Martin!
