History

The IOG was founded in 1990 in Ottawa by Timothy Plumptre who acted as director and president until 2006. Its budget was C$1.5 million and it counted 18 staff (11 research, 7 administrative/support, 1 visiting) in 2003.[5] Maryantonett Flumian served as president between 2008 and 2018, during which time the IOG more than doubled in size. This period also saw the IOG expand beyond its traditional focus in the national capital area into projects in Nova Scotia, Ontario, British Columbia and Nunavut as well as multiple oversees projects, including a multi-year project in Iraq.[6]
