Astute readers of this column will
note a new name among the Trust-
ees. Harry Oussoren has joined the
Foundation both as a Trustee and as
Treasurer. In 1992, Harry Oussoren,
PEng (ON and BC) founded Insitu
Contractors Inc, based in Guelph,
ON. Insitu Contractors specializes in
construction dewatering and environ-
mental groundwater control projects.
A graduate from University of Toronto
(BASc, Geological Engineering;
MEng, Civil Engineering), Harry
previously worked with Terraprobe,
Golder Associates, JW Stang and Grif-
fin Dewatering. Harry served as CGS
Vice President of Finance in 2005
and 2006. He more recently served
as Chair of Finances for the very suc-
cessful Pan-Am CGS Geotechnical
Conference held in Toronto in 2011.
His membership in the Royal Cana-
dian College of Organists provides a
hint of how Harry spends some of his
leisure time.
As we welcome Harry as a Trustee
and Treasurer, we would also like to
thank David Harding who is stepping
down as Treasurer after eight years of
excellent service. Beside overseeing
the finances of the Foundation, David
initiated and helped develop the Foun-
dation’s website.
In order to fulfill its mission, the
Foundation relies on donations from
individuals, corporations. It also
receives donations and interest-free
loans from the local sections and
technical divisions of the CGS. To
learn more about the Foundation, its
activities, and to learn how you can
