Annual conferenceEach year, the Society organizes a family history conference in a different part of the province.[13] In 2017, the OGS Conference will be in Ottawa, Ontario - celebrating Canada's 150th Birthday[14] Genealogists and family historians from all over North America attend these conferences to exchange information, and to learn about new resources and research techniques. This conference also arranges for information booths from similar organizations, such as the Canadian Friends Historical Association to facilitate networking. BranchesThe Ontario Genealogical Society's branches are spread all over Ontario. Each branch takes responsibility for carrying out the Society's objectives in local communities. Members of the public can find information about the branches nearest them by checking the section of the OGS web site devoted to branches.

The Ontario Genealogical Society supports the efforts of Ontario genealogists and historians by publishing and selling books of interest to them. As of a 2012 count, OGS has published about 140 books.
