Update: ORCGA Geographic Councils Will Now Be Online
The Ontario Regional Common Ground Alliance (ORCGA) invites you to join the free Geographic Council meetings that take place across the province virtually to promote the message that “damage prevention is a shared responsibility.”
These meetings are to share underground infrastructure damage prevention best practices, exchange ideas, and provide a forum to hear about regional issues.

Land Registration Documents Search Page: Your Feedback Wanted
The Ontario government is working to help make the Land Registration Documents search page (ontario.ca/search/land-registration) easier to use. We would like to invite members of AOLS who may have previously used this site to book a session with us to provide feedback.
The sessions will take place over the next few weeks, and will be conducted online, using screen-sharing software. Each will be about 45 minutes long. Participants who attend a session may receive a $45 gift card (excluding government employees).
If members of AOLS would be interested in participating, they can use the link in the website banner, or the following link to complete our 5-minute questionnaire:
Each participant will be asked to provide consent via email before the session starts.
Please feel free to share this opportunity with AOLS members or anyone else who might be interested. We thank you in advance for your consideration. If you post this message publicly, we ask you to not tag anyone specific.
