A new feature introduced in this edition is a section containing four essays: The HUDSON 70 Expedition by C.R. Mann Earth Sciences Studies in Arctic Marine Waters, 1970 by B.R. Pelletier Analysis of Marine Ecosystems by K.H. Mann Operation Oil by C.S. Mason and Wm. L. Ford They serve as an overview of the focal interests of the past two years in contrast to the body of the Review, which is basically a series of individual progress reports. The search for petroleum on the continental shelves of Eastern Canada and Arctic intensified considerably with several drilling rigs and many geophysical exploration teams in the field. To provide a regional depository for the mandatory core samples required from all drilling, the first stage of a core storage and archival laboratory was completed in 1970. This new addition to the Institute is operated by the Resource Administration Division of the Department of Energy, Mines & Resources. In a related move the Geological Survey of Canada undertook to establish at the Institute a new team whose primary function will be the stratigraphic mapping of the continental shelf.

  • Halifax, Nova Scotia and the Maritimes Have to Offer”
    Quoted by Bob: “As with snowflakes, no two sightseeing tours are ever exactly the same, there's a personal touch added to each trip. Our tours are not of the "cookie cutter" variety - we're "home-made" and unique! All our tours will give you the very best sightseeing Halifax, Nova Scotia and the Maritimes have to offer”. That is the truth. There is no way that we could have planned this trip on our own. Bob made us feel very comfortable as passengers, the sightseeing was amazing, the meals and lodgings were great. Bob’s knowledge of area history, his personal stories and insights and great sense of humor left never a dull moment. We had so much fun it should have been illegal. In short Sheri and I both say “Bob’s our Uncle” and would not hesitate to hire or recommend Blue Diamond Tours in the future. The photograph above - Blue Diamond Tours is operated by THAT GUY in the tie. Day Zero – The Grand Arrival - July 4th 2012 The first leg of our flight was to depart Grande Prairie to Calgary at 7:00 am. The time shift from Chetwynd to Halifax is 4 hours and 3 hours from Grande Prairie. Our flight was delayed by about a ½ hour. That being said when we departed in Calgary the final boarding call for Halifax was being announced. No time to grab a bite or Pee – Just run. The flight to Halifax (4 ½ Hours) was mostly uneventful. Using a bathroom on a plane is slightly nicer than using an outhouse on the prairies – it smells better and lacks flies.
