On behalf of the Geological Association of Canada, the Mineralogical Association of Canada, the Atlantic Geoscience Society and the University of New Brunswick, the Fredericton 2014 Organizing Committee invites you to attend the Joint Annual Meeting, May 21-23 2014, on the Fredericton campus of the University of New Brunswick.
Fredericton, the Provincial capital of New Brunswick, is within easy reach of major centres in eastern Canada and the northeast U.S. and a short hop from Halifax Nova Scotia. The region has a long history of earth science education and exploration, beginning with Abraham Gesner, who was appointed the government geologist for New Brunswick from 1838 to 1842, the first such position in Canada. The 2014 GAC®MAC slogan reflects in part the 175 years of geoscience in the region inspired by Gesner and his discoveries.
We are centrally located only a short distance from the world's richest Pb-Zn-Ag deposits in the Bathurst Mining Camp, rare-metal intrusion-related deposits such as Sisson Brook and Mt. Pleasant, and spectacular exposures of hydrocarbon-bearing Carboniferous maritime basin sediments. A variety of pre- and post-conference field trips will examine Appalachian collisional processes, exquisitely-preserved Devonian volcanic sequences and fossil beds, a range of ore deposits and hydrocarbon reservoirs, as well as quaternary and coastal geology of the Province.
Join us in Fredericton to celebrate 175 years of geoscience discovery from May 21 to 23, 2014.

Welcome!
On behalf of the Geological Association of Canada and the Mineralogical Association of Canada, the Winnipeg 2013 Organizing Committee
invites you to attend the Joint Annual Meeting, in May 2013, at the Convention Centre in downtown Winnipeg. The city is located 29 km
west of the longitudinal centre of North America on the sediments of the immense glacial Lake Agassiz. We are just a short distance
from one of the world's largest rare-metal pegmatites at Tanco, spectacular outcrops of Paleozoic carbonate rocks in the Interlake region,
Precambrian rocks of the Superior craton and Trans-Hudson orogen, and a score of other geological attractions. Winnipeg is renowned for its
cosmopolitan arts, culture and cuisine, and is once again the home of the Winnipeg Jets hockey team. The Manitoba Museum, Assiniboine
Park, Leo Mol Sculpture Garden, and The Forks National Historic Site are just a few of the city's numerous cultural sites. A diverse technical
program of symposia, special sessions, general sessions, and short courses is being planned for Winnipeg 2013. Field trips will explore
a cross section of Manitoba geology from the Archean to the Holocene, and social events will reflect the life and hospitality of the Prairies.
Join us in Winnipeg "At the Centre of the Continent" from May 22 to 24, 2013!
