The North American Banding Council was established in 1994. Its objective is to promote sound and ethical banding principles and techniques in North America, primarily through a continentally standardized bander training and certification program. The certified Trainers in Ontario are members of OBBA (Ontario Bird Banding Association).

Norm North is the OBBA Representative to the North American Banding Council and Stu Mackenzie is the Alternate. Contact Norm email or Stu by email if you would like more information. Visit the website for the North American Banding Council
