The Canadian Shield constitutes the largest mass of exposed Precambrian rock on the face of Earth. The region, as a whole, is composed of ancient crystalline rocks whose complex structure attests to a long history of uplift and depression, mountain building (orogeny), and erosion. Some of the ancient mountain ranges can still be recognized as a ridge or belt of hills, but the present appearance of the physical landscape of the Canadian Shield is not so much a result of the folding and faulting and compression of the rocks millions of years ago as it is the work of ice in relatively recent geologic time.

  • Maritime Provinces and the National Policy (Comments Upon Economic Regionalism in Canada)
    MARITIME PROVINCES AND THE NATIONAL POLICY (COMMENTS UPON ECONOMIC REGIONALISM IN CANADA) · S. A. SAUNDERS T has long been evident that within the Dominion there is a I wide diversity of economic interests and outlook: but with the spate of complaints, protests, and petitions that since 1929 has poured into Ottawa this diversity has taken on distinct regional characteristics. The Maritime Provinces, the Central Provinces, the Prairie Provinces, and British Columbia have had each its peculiar economic difficulties. For the most part, these economic difficulties have been attributed to the policy followed by the Dominion Government: the manner in which taxes have been levied and revenues disbursed, the cost of giving tariff protection to domestic industries, and the encroachments upon the rights and privileges of provincial Governments. The Maritime Pro­ vinces have complained that they were not receiving their share of the good things of life which Confederation had brought to the Dominion as a whole; they have asked repeatedly for a larger share of the federal funds with which to carry on those new funct­ ions of government that came gradually to be recognized in the western world as natural and legitimate; and they do not appear ever to have felt altogether at home in the new edifice erected by the Fathers of Confederation. Although, in this article, attention will be focussed upon the National Policy with special reference to the Maritime Provinces, and upon the relations between the Mari­ time Provinces and the rest of the Dominion, the approach has nation-wide application, and it is hoped that the discussion will make some contribution to a better understanding of the general problem of economic regionalism in Canada.

  • Differentiation of Tundra/Taiga and Boreal Coniferous

As a result, geographical distance and physical obstacles to dispersal may not be consequential factors in the evolutionary divergence of wolf populations. However, recent studies suggest ecological features can constrain gene flow. We tested whether wolf–prey associations in uninterrupted tundra and forested regions of Canada explained differences in migratory behaviour, genetics, and coat colour of wolves. Satellite-telemetry data demonstrated that tundra wolves (n = 19) migrate annually with caribou (n = 19) from denning areas in the tundra to wintering areas south of the treeline. In contrast, nearby boreal coniferous forest wolves are territorial and associated year round with resident prey.

  • Instability of the Southern Canadian Shield During the Late Proterozoic 2 3 Kalin T
    1 Instability of the southern Canadian Shield during the late Proterozoic 2 3 Kalin T. McDannella,b*, Peter K. Zeitlera, and David A. Schneiderc 4 5 aDepartment of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Lehigh University, 1 W. Packer Ave. Bethlehem PA, 18015 USA 6 7 bGeological Survey of Canada, Natural Resources Canada, 3303 – 33 St NW Calgary AB, T2L 2A7 Canada 8 9 cDepartment of Earth & Environmental Sciences, University of Ottawa, 25 Templeton Ave., Ottawa ON, K1N 6N5 10 Canada 11 12 *corresponding author: [email protected]; [email protected] 13 14 ABSTRACT 15 Cratons are generally considered to comprise lithosphere that has remained tectonically 16 quiescent for billions of years. Direct evidence for stability is mainly founded in the Phanerozoic 17 sedimentary record and low-temperature thermochronology, but for extensive parts of Canada, 18 earlier stability has been inferred due to the lack of an extensive rock record in both time and 19 space. We used 40Ar/39Ar multi-diffusion domain (MDD) analysis of K-feldspar to constrain 20 cratonic thermal histories across an intermediate (~150-350°C) temperature range in an attempt 21 to link published high-temperature geochronology that resolves the timing of orogenesis and 22 metamorphism with lower-temperature data suited for upper-crustal burial and unroofing 23 histories. This work is focused on understanding the transition from Archean-Paleoproterozoic 24 crustal growth to later intervals of stability, and how uninterrupted that record is throughout 25 Earth’s Proterozoic “Middle Age.” Intermediate-temperature thermal histories of cratonic rocks 26 at well-constrained localities within the southern Canadian Shield of North America challenge 27 the stability worldview because our data indicate that these rocks were at elevated temperatures 28 in the Proterozoic.

  • Parry Sound: Canadian Shield and Glacier-Sculpted Gneiss in Cottage Country; Geotours Northern Ontario Series
    Parry Sound Canadian Shield and Glacier-sculpted Gneiss in Cottage Country North of Barrie along Highway 400 the scenery changes suddenly from the rolling hills with farms and fields typical of much of southern Ontario, to a rugged and rocky landscape of rock and forests. This change marks the southern limits of the Canadian Shield, Canada’s largest and oldest geological region. This southernmost part of the Canadian Shield is the famous cottage country of Georgian Bay and Muskoka, about a 2 hour’s drive north of Toronto. The Parry Sound GeoTour tells the geological stories of this region through a description of the scenery and geology of one of its most popular sites, Killbear Provincial Park. Highway 400/69 cuts through rocky Canadian Shield terrain near Parry Sound. Canadian Shield rocks underlie a third of Canada. A typical Canadian Shield landscape in Killbear Provincial Park. Canadian Shield: the ancient core of the continent The Canadian Shield is a vast and largely unsettled region of northern and eastern Canada, known for its rocky landscapes, thin soils, and abundant lakes and bogs. The Shield forms the ancient geological core of the North American continent and has some of the oldest rocks found on Earth. These ancient rocks are largely hard and resistant granite, gneiss and volcanic rocks that were formed more than a billion years ago. Parry Sound Gneiss: the iconic rock of Georgian Bay and Muskoka Gneiss (pronounced “nice”) is the iconic rock of the Canadian Shield in Ontario’s cottage country. Gneiss is easy to distinguish from other rocks because of its alternating dark- and light-coloured layers, or bands.
