About Us

in the community

The Optimist Club of Oakridge Acres Inc. was chartered in 1957 and has been a vital part of the Oakridge and London community, providing activities for youth and providing financial support for a wide variety of sport, education, health and safety programs. We have a proven track record in our community and an active membership of over 50 Optimists who have a common desire to improve the lives of youth in our community.

We currently have involvement in the following programs that we support through a variety of fundraising.

We support and fund many programs that benefit youth education, health, recreation and safety. You can help the Oakridge Optimist Club support these programs by participating in our events this year which will include Trivia Night in February and our Charity Golf Tournament in September.
