Our Strength is Fellowship; Our Success is Participation.

An introduction to deep time: The making of the Georgian Bay Geopark.
Tony will talk about the uniqueness of Georgian Bay and the ground roots initiative that is underway to establish Georgian Bay as one of the world’s greatest UNESCO Global Geoparks. I am certain that this will also be another presentation not to be missed!
