Tag: 15th BC Paleontological Symposium 2025

VicPS meeting: Wednesday, Sept. 10, 7:30 – 9 pm

We are grateful and excited to have a NEW MEETING SPACE!

Paleontologist Edward Davies, Branta Biostratigraphy Ltd., has offered his office for us to gather monthly, share our fieldtrip finds, do research, and enjoy speakers.  Next Wednesday, our first meeting of the fall, I will review our activities over the summer, including the very successful 15th BCPA Symposium, followed by a review of specimens found on our summer fieldtrips. 

Please join us in person and bring those specimens!  We will also discuss how we want to use our monthly meeting time over the coming year.

The address is 2680 Seaview Road, Victoria, BC.  Park in the driveway, or on street if the driveway is full.

For those who cannot join in person, we will link you in via Zoom and do our best to share specimens on screen.

ZOOM LINK: Paid members will have received this in an email. Please look there for details.

Symposium 2025: Registration Closing!

Symposium 2025 is almost here! 

The Organizing Committee is pleased to confirm all speaking slots are filled and the presentations look fabulous. Registration continues until next Thursday. 

Attending Symposium? Artist Ray Troll will be unable to speak at the Symposium Banquet, in-person or virtually, as advertised. In his place, Pat Trask, Museum Curator of Natural History at Courtenay and District Museum and Palaeontology Centre, will share the journey of the baby Elasmosaur from its discovery in the Courtenay area to its home in the museum, and the marvelous things the specimen reveals. 

Unable to attend Symposium? You can still benefit from a beautiful piece of artwork available for pick up at Symposium; a beautiful high-quality colour poster of three heteromorph ammonites from the Nanaimo Group.

Order ahead for pick up at Symposium and avoid shipping charges (get a friend attending Symposium to pick is up for you), or have it delivered right to your home.  When ordering, select “local pickup” to save shipping costs if it’s being picked up at Symposium for you.
