On behalf of Professional Geoscientists Ontario,  I would like to extend our sincere appreciation to everyone who contributed to the success of the 2025 Virtual Symposium.

To the members of the Symposium Planning Committee—thank you for your time, insight, and dedication in curating a program that reflects the evolving landscape of geoscience and its intersection with emerging technologies and societal needs.

To our session co-chairs, Andrea Waldie, Sheila Ballantyne, Trina Maher, Simon Gautrey, Paul Teniere and James Whyte - your leadership and guidance helped bring critical conversations to life. Your support ensured that each session was both engaging and thought-provoking.

We also extend our gratitude to all speakers for generously sharing your knowledge and perspectives. Your contributions enriched the dialogue and helped us explore the future of our profession with curiosity and responsibility.

To our Group Insurance Partner, TD Insurance and to our Associate Sponsors - Hub International and Manulife - thank you for your continuing support.  Your commitment made it possible for us to deliver this symposium and share knowledge across the profession.

To the PGO staff and Webcast Guru, thank you for the thoughtful coordination behind the scenes and for ensuring a seamless experience for all participants.

And to our attendees—your presence and participation are what truly make this event meaningful. Thank you for joining us in these important conversations and for your continued commitment to professional excellence.

A separate email has already been sent to all registered attendees containing a direct link to the recordings of the symposium sessions. The email was sent to the address used during registration. Please check your inbox (and spam/junk folders) if you haven't yet received it. The recordings will be accessible until June 30, 2025. For assistance, please contact Carmen Li-Tsang at info@pgo.ca

Let us carry the spirit of learning and collaboration forward as we continue to serve the public interest through responsible geoscience practice.

Again, thank you all!
