Toronto Geological Discussion Group

The Toronto Geological Discussion Group (TGDG) is a local learned society for geoscience and mining professionals.
Our mission is to provide ongoing and relevant education and networking opportunities to our members and the wider public, with emphasis on geology, new deposit models and the application of exploration techniques. We are funded through our members, and through company sponsors
who share our passion for geology.

Our program provides this community with bi-monthly late afternoon technical meetings, from September to May,
and two half day symposiums annually. Attendance at
TGDG events qualifies as part of the Continuing Professional Development (CPD), required to maintain professional
