The Ontario government on Sunday celebrated the 125th anniversary of establishing the Ontario Geological Survey (OGS), celebrating the agency’s accomplishments that had helped document the geology of the province and provide modern, independent and credible geoscience data and knowledge to the public.
“For 125 years, the OGS has played a vital role in the success and growth of Ontario’s mineral development sector, and there are countless examples of how OGS studies, data and maps have provided guidance leading to major mining investments in our province. This milestone anniversary is about celebrating the OGS’ past success, while looking forward to what the future has in store for this valuable organisation,” Ontario’s Minister of Northern Development and Mines Michael Gravelle stated on Sunday.
