OSSGA Industry Advancement/Student Design Competition Awards Book

The OSSGA Industry Advancement Awards Program, which is presented annually at OSSGA's Annual General Meeting, recognizes a wide range of activities that contribute to a progressive image of our member aggregate producers and the aggregate industry as a whole.

OSSGA's annual Student Design Competition challenges Ontario university and college students to put their design skills to work on an Ontario aggregate extraction site to create a rehabilitation design that maximizes the opportunities that the site will offer. Winners are awarded monetary prizes and their winning entries are displayed at OSSGA's Annual General Meeting.
