DEFINITION OF SERVICES, AND THE PRACTICE
OF PROFESSIONAL GEOSCIENCE WITHIN
THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO

From the date of the federal incorporation of Turnstone in Canada on 10 July 1985, I, Graham Wilson, have provided consulting reports and undertaken research as an owner-operator company, Turnstone Geological Services Ltd. These services will continue to be offered after 31 March 2003, but in a modified framework, as explained below.

The Professional Geoscientists Act, 2000, governs the offering of geological, geophysical, hydrogeological and related services to the public within the province of Ontario. This requires the registration of practising geoscientists, and I have complied with this (P.Geo designation in Ontario, No.623, 2002). My fee-based consulting work will continue, invoiced in my own name ("Graham C. Wilson, PhD, P.Geo", GST registration number 87044 7109 RT 0001).

Furthermore, as envisaged on this web site back in 2001, Turnstone Geological Services will change its emphasis. It will continue operation in terms of research, database compilation and publishing projects, and serve as a resource supporting Graham Wilson's personal projects, but it will cease invoiced consulting activities ("professional geoscience" in the meaning of the Act), and all projects commenced from 01 April 2003 onwards will be invoiced in the Wilson name, as explained above.

Consulting has duly continued through 2024 and I intend to continue in 2025. That said, Turnstone as a limited federal corporation (1985-2024) was dissolved in August 2024, which makes no difference to services offered, as explained above. Research and publishing ventures (both hard-copy and digital) will continue into 2025 and hopefully for years hence. This "Turnstone- on- the- Web" site will continue and expand its role as a free-access information service, and I hope you will enjoy it!

Caveat: This should not be construed as a legal document. It is however a policy statement and an example of what I consider fair disclosure and fair dealings with both customers and the public at large.
