The CGEN Annual General Meeting will take place in Fredericton on Friday, May 23 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m., during the joint Geological Association of Canada/Mineralogical Association of Canada (GAC/MAC) conference. If you are in the neighbourhood, please join us. All CGEN members are welcome (and encouraged) to attend. Let me know at cgen@sympatico.ca if you can.
The GAC/MAC conference is planning an excellent teachers program. The workshop includes a trip to Canada’s first Geo-Park, Stonehammer. All details at: http://www.unb.ca/conferences/gacmac2014/outreach.html
If you’re looking for some new teaching ideas, check out the U.S. site http://www.teacherstryscience.org. It provides free lessons and resources “designed to spark students’ interest in science, technology, engineering and math.”
If you’re looking for funding, the Canadian Geological Foundation invites you to submit a grant application by March 31. Information at: http://www.canadiangeologicalfoundation.org/?page_id=39
Christy Vodden, CGEN Secretary Treasurer
