The Ontario Genealogical Society’s annual Conference
provides for members and the public to learn and share information about the
hobby. There are tours and workshops, lectures and
Marketplace, awards, a Research Room, the annual Banquet, displays and special
events.
Ottawa Branch has hosted five times, in 1972, 1977, 1988, 2000
and 2007. The 150
th birthday of Canada is 2017 and Ottawa Branch will
again host the OGS Conference. A small committee has started to plan the event
but we can always use help. Meetings are held on-line, so you can participate
from anywhere in the world. If you would like to join one of the
sub-committees, particularly if you have expertise in Marketing or Social
Media, please contact Mike More at
conference2017@ogs.on.ca.
If
you belong to another heritage or genealogical organization in Eastern Ontario,
we would be pleased to have you participate with us. For more details, contact
Mike at
