Note
Only one of ongoing's uses can take an -s: the noun meaning a happening, something that is going on. The adjective, as in an ongoing inquiry or ongoing costs, never pluralizes, and neither does the rare participle of the verb ongo. So the plural always names events themselves, usually what is happening in some particular place or group.
