Coming Up
FRIDAY MAY 8, 2026
WE WILL BE MEETING AT THE KITCHENER AUDITORIUM FOR OUR MAY MEETING!
Beth Gilhespy will be giving a talk on “The Geology of the Saugeen (Bruce) Peninsula in Five Hikes“.
Beth will tell the Saugeen (Bruce) Peninsula’s remarkable story through five spectacular hikes from her book Walking Through Time: Exploring the Geology of the Saugeen (Bruce) Peninsula. From ancient tropical seas and fossil-rich dolostone cliffs, to glacial landforms and karst landscapes, each hike reveals how the past 450 million years of geological history has shaped the Peninsula we know today.
Socializing starts at 7:00pm, featured talk around 8:00pm. See you there!
