The Mission of the Ontario Homicide Investigators Association (OHIA) is to bring together the men and women charged with the responsibility of investigating homicides and to provide a forum through which they can share their skill, knowledge, and expertise for their professional development and support.
Each year, the OHIA Workshop Committee provides content that is topical, relevant and aimed to benefit Canadian Homicide Investigators by developing their skills in the current environment. This ensures that the workshop is informative, relevant and educational.
