The APGO Education Foundation ("the Foundation") is pleased to announce that it has awarded a grant of $4,166 to the Metcalfe Geoheritage Park Committee to develop a QR code system of signage that will enable visitors with mobile devices to connect digitally with a wealth of geo-information about the site and the specimens on display. The Metcalfe Geoheritage Park, Canada's first municipal Geoheritage Park, is located on the Mississippi River in the town of Almonte in eastern Ontario.

Over the years, techniques and equipment for digital mapping have revolutionized the way geoscience field studies are performed. Now, a unique new software for virtual model interpretation and visualization is to be presented at the 2nd Virtual Geoscience Conference in Bergen, Norway.
The conference represents a multidisciplinary forum for geoscience researchers, geomatics and related disciplines to share their latest developments and applications.

Ontario has a long and lively geological past dating back 3.3 billion years, when the Earth was covered by oceans. During that time, intense volcanism formed the Earth's crust, giving way to a barren and lifeless landscape blasted by radiation from the sun.
Three billion years ago, plate tectonics moved thin rafts of rocks at a rate much faster than they do today. Over time, the volcanic islands butted together into one large block of land, with most of the action starting around the Red Lake area, a prolific gold-mining camp in northwest Ontario.

The Region of Waterloo has received more than $10.6 million in funding for upgrades to wastewater treatment plants and reservoir pipes.
The money is through the Clean Water Wastewater Fund and $7,115,979 is coming from the federal government with $3,557,990 coming from the province.
The money will be used for four projects in the region — three of which have already been started. That includes upgrades to the wastewater treatment plants in Hespeler and Preston, and updating inlet piping at the Mannheim reservoirs.

The City of Windsor has a turbo-charged way to save money with sewage treatment.
Two new energy-efficient turbo blowers — that replace four old centrifugal blowers, which will remain as back-up units — allow the Lou Romano Water Reclamation Plant to clean sewage using less electricity.
The blowers cost $700,000. But the city will receive $240,000 in rebates for the energy conservation from Ontario's Independent Electricity System Operator.

Two projects by a Chinese basalt mining company and a Texas sulphur dioxide manufacturer highlighted a year of achievement for the City of Timmins and the Timmins Economic Development Corporation according to information released at their recent annual meeting at the Dante Club in Timmins.
But several intriguing new ventures could help make the City With a Heart of Gold more diversified and less reliant on mining according to the 2015 TEDC annual report.
The TEDC is the office in the City of Timmins that helps attract new business investment for creating jobs in Timmins area.

Even a geologist will admit the brownish-grey, fine-grained, indifferently striped rocks look boring.
But a University of Alberta-led team has teased apart the chemistry of these stones from the Northwest Territories to get them to release their exciting secret — a unique glimpse into the Earth's most distant and mysterious past.
"We actually have more information about the moon during this time period than we do about our own planet," said Jesse Reimink, one of the authors of a new paper released recently by Nature Geoscience.

Upgrading Canada's aging wastewater treatment infrastructure is tabulated at billions of dollars, but a University of Alberta research team's unconventional approach to water management significantly cuts those costs by "treating the wastewater as a resource, rather than a waste." The idea is to recover water and produce energy and fertilizer nutrients from water and wastewater services at greenfield sites, says Nicholas Ashbolt, Alberta Innovates public health professor at the University of Alberta.

Zinc is the best performing base metal so far this year and measured from its six-year low struck mid-January today's $2,280 a tonne zinc prize is up 55 per cent.
Zinc's prospects brightened considerably after the shutdown of two major mines last year — Australia's Century and the Lisheen mine in Ireland. The two mines had a combined output of more than 630,000. The shuttering of top zinc producer Glencore's depleted Brunswick and Perseverance mines in Canada in 2012 brings total tonnes going offline since 2013 to more than one million tonnes.
