The Ottawa Geotechnical Group (OGG) represents geotechnical engineers and geo-scientists in the national capital region and is sanctioned as a local chapter by the Canadian Geotechnical Society. The OGG includes about 200 members representing civil, geotechnical and environmental consulting engineering firms; municipal, provincial and federal government organizations; academia as well as a strong student contingent. The Group offers a forum for these practitioners and scientists to network through our monthly professional development series, student forum and banquet.
