On behalf of the Geological Association of Canada and the Mineralogical Association of Canada, the Winnipeg 2013 Organizing Committee invites you to attend the Joint Annual Meeting, in May 2013, at the Convention Centre in downtown Winnipeg. The city is located 29 km west of the longitudinal centre of North America on the sediments of the immense glacial Lake Agassiz. We are just a short distance from one of the world's largest rare-metal pegmatites at Tanco, spectacular outcrops of Paleozoic carbonate rocks in the Interlake region, Precambrian rocks of the Superior craton and Trans-Hudson orogen, and a score of other geological attractions. Winnipeg is renowned for its cosmopolitan arts, culture and cuisine, and is once again the home of the Winnipeg Jets hockey team. The Manitoba Museum, Assiniboine Park, Leo Mol Sculpture Garden, and The Forks National Historic Site are just a few of the city's numerous cultural sites. A diverse technical program of symposia, special sessions, general sessions, and short courses is being planned. Field trips will explore a cross section of Manitoba geology from the Archean to the Holocene, and social events will reflect the life and hospitality of the Prairies. GAC-MAC Winnipeg 2013 is being held in Treaty 1 territory, the ancestral gathering place for many First Nations and Métis throughout North America. Join us in Winnipeg "At the Centre of the Continent" from May 22 to 24, 2013!
