The Ontario Genealogical Society’s conference begins in only 10 days at Algonquin College in Ottawa, and if you have not already registered, you can still attend. All walk-ins are welcome and registration will be at the door.
For a limited time, there are still rooms available in the residence at Algonquin College where many of us will be staying. If you hurry, you will be able to take advantage of the conference discount rate.
For those unable to attend, you will be able to experience a small part of the conference from the comfort of your home. Last week, I wrote a blog post about the OGS conference live streaming for the first time some of the presentations, and now we have the links where to watch them.
