October 14th and we would love to have some extra help from
interested high school students. We will have volunteers from our own
university undergraduate and graduate students, as well as staff, retired
faculty and other geologists in the Ottawa area placed at 6 sites across the
National Capital region from 10am to 3pm on that Saturday,
speaking to the public about the interesting geological features of the
site. We are hoping there might be some students interested in Geology or
the outdoors willing to come and assist us with engaging the public. They
will learn about the site, gain experience speaking to the public and log
some of their volunteer hours. The sites where we could use some help are
Cardinal Creek Karst, in Orleans, and the Pinhey Sand Dunes in Nepean, however
help at any of the other sites would be welcome.
