Testimonials

What people are saying about our workshops.

The workshop was excellent. The good news is that I think we are already about 90% there in terms of what we should be doing. For the remaining 10%, I have a checklist that we can work through as well as a bunch of good ideas.

Treasurer of the Ontario Archeological Society

I just wanted to thank you and your team for the excellent seminar this morning. The material was presented very clearly, with appropriate opportunities for discussion, and the topics covered seemed very relevant.
