The CSPG in association with the CSEG and APEGGA will hold the 2009 Honorary Address on Tuesday November 3rd, 2009 at the Southern Jubilee Auditorium. It celebrates three anniversaries: the 200th anniversary of the birth of Darwin, the 150th anniversary of the publication of The Origin of Species, and a local anniversary – the 100th year since the discovery of the Burgess Shale in Yoho National Park.
The keynote speaker is Brian Keating from the Calgary Zoo speaking about "Islands of Time – Adaptation of Life to Local Environments". The second speaker is Dr. Paul Johnston from Mount Royal College who will give a visual tour of the super-rare biotic assemblage that has been found in the Cambrian-aged Burgess Shale.
