Paleonet: Upcoming Canadian Paleontology Meetings #2 - 17th Canadian Paleontology Conference - CPC-2007 (September 20-23, 2007)

[William Douglas Boyce]

___________________________________________________________
The extremely successful CPC-2006 (16th Canadian 
Paleontology Conference) was held at the Redpath 
Museum in Montreal, Quebec from October 13-16. It 
featured both a pre-meeting and a post-meeting 
fieldtrip, and two days of talks and poster 
displays, as well as a visit to MusÈe de 
PalÈontologie et de l'evolution. Social events 
included an icebreaker on Friday, October 13 and 
a banquet on Saturday, October 14. The 2006 
Pikaia Award winner was Nick Butterfield, and 
T.E. Bolton Awards were presented to Nadia 
Frobisch (Redpath Museum) and Emily Bamforth 
(Queens University) - congratulations to all!

At the Paleontology Division business meeting on 
Saturday morning, October 14,  there was extreme 
interest expressed in holding CPC-2007 in St. 
John's, Newfoundland; I was assigned the task of 
finding out if Memorial University would be 
interested in hosting it. I'm pleased to report 
that they have agreed to do so. For more 
information, please contact:
