The Vancouver Paleontological Society is a group of professional and amateur fossil enthusiasts who generally meet at 8PM the 4th Thursday of every month at the Vancouver Museum/Planetarium, 1100 Chestnut Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada
We host colorful, thought provoking slide shows & lectures related to geology and paleontology with a bit of natural history, travel log and local lore. We hold fossil field trips for members from March to October that take us out to great sites in British Columbia and beyond. This year we had trips to the Interior of BC, Vancouver Island, Castle Peak, high in the rockies and a few easy daytrips to sites near Harrison Lake and Princeton. Field trips are free (except for your gas, food, etc) and range from easy, family oriented, no hike day trips to weeklong trips that require a greater degree of fitness and skill All lectures are free and open to the public.
