OAKVILLE GLASS AND MIRROR CLOSED: After more than 50 years in business, Dieter and Ingrid Ringler decided it was time to retire and closed the doors at Oakville Glass and Mirror for the last time on January 10. Oakville Glass was a long-time dedicated member of the OGMA and both Dieter and his son Steven served as directors and held terms as president. We wish the Ringler’s a long and healthy retirement. Steven is going to stay on the OGMA board for 2019.
