OGS Conference 2019
Join us for the Ontario Genealogical Society’s Conference 2019, “Breaking Down Genealogical Barriers”.  Local tours on June 20, Conference lectures and plenary sessions, and the OGS annual general meeting, June 21-23, at the London Convention Centre, London, Ontario

9. Greening the Meetings
Ottawa Branch OGS is doing its part for the environment. We no longer have many handouts but instead post them on our website for those who want a copy. We replaced the plastic stir sticks with wooden. Now, we want to cut down on the Styrofoam cups by asking attendees to bring their own travel mug or cup to use for your coffee or tea. We'll still have disposable cups if you forget yours but we hope to go to a recyclable or biodegradable cup soon
