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.
