a Pro-d opportunity for (Geography) teachers
 
I would like to call your attention to a professional development program MineralsEd is hosting in conjunction with Mineral 
Exploration Roundup in Vancouver later this month with hopes that you will forward this to Geography 12 teachers in your 
membership who might find this particularly relevant to and supportive of their classroom teaching. The teachers’ program this 
year is dedicated to Earth Science topics.
 
We have a line up of true “BC rock stars” as guest speakers:
 
·         Dr. Bob Turner, GSC, BC’s Tectonic Origins
 
·         Dr. John Clague, SFU, The Big Freeze - The Ice Ages in British Columbia
 
·         Dr. Cathy Hickson, Alterra Power Corp., Volcanology and Hydrothermal Energy Development
 
·         Mr. Bruce Madu, BC Geological Survey, BC’s Geological Wonders
 
There is also time schedule during the day to explore the bigger conference which features a large tradeshow, plus core shack, 
prospector’s tent and map tent, as well as champion gold panner Yukon Dan.
 
Date: Thurs. Jan30th 2014
 
Location: Westin Bayshore, Vancouver
 
Time: 9:00a-3:00p
 
There is no cost and lunch is provided.
 
This is a unique and exciting professional development learning opportunity for teachers who address Earth Science and 
physical geology topics.
 
Limited TOC support is available from MineralsEd for teachers to attend this program.
