OGS Public Geoscience Talks

One aspect of the strategic direction of the Ontario Geological Survey is the raising of awareness and understanding about the value of public geoscience, specifically the work by the Ontario Geological Survey. This series of talks is targeted at non-technical audiences. The approach is to relate the value and influence of geology to the interest of the audience. This approach is complements the Ontario Government’s OPS Ambassadors Program (Attracting Talent and Engaging our Employees).
