SUMMARY:Plants of the Bruce Peninsula - Where North Meets South and East Meets West\, with Joan Crowe
DESCRIPTION:The Bruce Peninsula is in a unique position in Ontario\, close enough to the north to harbour species common in the Boreal Forest and close enough to the south for more Carolinian species to move in. Its complex geological history has created a variety of habitats and past climates have established species commoner further west. Since the early days of European colonization it has\nbeen a mecca for botanists\, especially for orchids and ferns.

SUMMARY:The Making of Canada: Four Billion Years of Earth History with Dr. Nick Eyles
DESCRIPTION:This talk will summarize the long geological evolution of Canada. It is an immigrant country made up largely of far-traveled crust brought together by plate tectonics. Its history begins 4.1 billion years ago with a small landmass (preserved as the Slave craton in the present day Northwest territories) and ends with glaciations of the last 2 million years which have profoundly shaped the landscape. Knowledge of Canada’s geologic history is key to understanding many modern environmental issues. The Annual General Meeting will follow this presentation.
