Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that the OSBIE head office in Guelph is situated on the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This land has long served as a place of meeting, gathering, and refuge for many peoples, and is built upon rich Indigenous histories.

As we live and work across this land, we recognize our responsibility to respect and care for it, the people who call them home, and the generations to come. In the spirit of reconciliation, we are committed to thoughtful, intentional actions that honour this responsibility.

What Our Members are Saying

When we had a cyber breach, OSBIE was our first call. They quickly secured legal counsel for us and then OSBIE’s elite provider of cyber security – Kroll – stepped in. They isolated the threat and assisted in restoring services. The expert response took the pressure away from a very loaded and difficult situation.

OSBIE consistently demonstrates a high level of professionalism. Responses to inquiries are quick and thorough. What sets OSBIE apart is that they make us feel valued and never burdensome. It’s an exceptional level of customer service that’s truly appreciated.

- Janna Lagaev, Comptroller, Accounting/Financial Services, York Region District School Board

During the 17 years I have worked with OSBIE, I have consistently observed the team's unwavering dedication to supporting Ontario's school boards. The staff at OSBIE are always prepared, professional, and eager to assist. They have demonstrated a commitment to addressing the sector's evolving needs, exemplified by initiatives like the annual cyber posture assessment, comprehensive risk management advice, and valuable professional development opportunities.
