On January 11th, 1922, the Ontario Electrical League was established, as the demand for electricity in homes and communities surged.

Certified electricians were in high demand. So, the Ontario Electrical League opened and operated over 14 wiring schools to answer the call and keep the trade going strong.

The Ontario Electrical League held its first annual conference, to bring independent electricians contractors together for the first time.

The decade that the brand truly became the association it is today with the Electric Service League of Ontario and the Electrical Heating Association amalgamating in 1966 to officially become OEL.

The millennium saw OEL continue its transition to a more contractor focused organization — a result of deregulation and building on the existing contractor committee.

The Ontario Electrical League had a solid reputation as the voice of open shop Licensed Electrical Contractors (LECs) electrical contractors across the province.

We look forward to further evolving and advancing the electrical industry and paving the way for future generations to succeed in the trade.
