Saskatchewan Geological Society Manitoba field trip
August 22 to 26, 2019
Nineteen intrepid society members descended upon our neighboring province to the east to transect their surprisingly well exposed bedrock geology, from the Archean Rice Lake greenstone belt in the east, to the Paleozoic carbonates in the centre, to the Upper Cretaceous clastics of the Manitoba Escarpment to the west. The group included APEGS members from Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon and Regina. Scott Anderson of Havilah Mining showed the group the recently burnt and beautifully exposed greenstones at Rice Lake and Michelle Nicolas, and Kathryn Lapenskie of the Manitoba Geological Survey guided the group up and down Manitoba’s Phanerozoic exposures.
2020 Saskatchewan Geoscience Calendar is available!
This is the Saskatchewan Geological Society’s fifth calendar. As in previous editions, the society strives for balance, showing the geoscientific diversity of Saskatchewan. Although the calendar is created with the general public in mind, it should equally appeal to professional geoscientists. Proceeds from calendar sales help the society do outreach projects, provide an incentive for another edition, and facilitate an additional luncheon talk.
The calendar is available for purchase in Regina at the MacKenzie Art Gallery, the Royal Saskatchewan Museum, and the University of Regina bookstore and in Saskatoon at the U of S bookstore, the U of S Geology Department, and McNally Robinson bookstore. It retails for $10 (1-4 copies), $8 (5-9 copies) and $6 (>10 copies). Check the Society’s website at www.sgs.ca for further details.
