New Events!Hey sorry it's been awhile since the site was updated but our Divas have got me the list of events planned so far. You can check the calendar for all the dates and times. Our next event is this Friday. We are having our annual Shinny In The Bowl tourney. So get a team of 5-8 players together and come out and have some fun. There will be a prize for winning. Even if you don't have a team just come and watch games will start around 4:30 or 5 and continue till around 8pm. The lounge will be full of people who are waiting to go play so come hang out and cheer us on. After the tourney we are having a token night at the Scuz.
Hope to see you all there
Caraleigh 7 février Exhibit OpeningThe Diefenbaker Canada Centre presents the Smithsonian exhibit, The Burgess Shale: Evolution’s Big Bang, this spring. The exhibit tells the story of one of the most important fossil sites in North America: the Burgess Shale. The opening for this exhibit is Friday February 10th from 4pm till 8pm. This event is free and all encouraged to attend. Caraleigh More Info on the Exhibit can be found at http://www.usask.ca/diefenbaker/burgessshale.html Located in the Yoho National Park high in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, the Burgess Shale fossils were discovered in 1909 by Charles Doolittle Walcott, Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution. The fossils are more than 500 million years old and include the ancestors of virtually all living animals, as well as many unusual creatures unlike any known today. The Burgess Shale was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981. The exhibit explores current theories about the “Cambrian Explosion" when a burst of evolutionary activity generated a sudden increase in the complexity and variety of animal life on Earth. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of the extraordinary life forms are combined in the exhibit with the stories and methods of the paleontologists who have studied them. These extraordinary fossils lived in the shallow sea when North America was in the tropics. Many of the fossils of the Burgess Shale are among the earliest representations of modern animals. Others appear unrelated to any living life forms and their later disappearance presents an intriguing mystery. The exhibit was developed by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service (SITES) and the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History’s Department of Paleobiology. Exhibition curator Douglas H. Erwin is a co-author of The Fossils of the Burgess Shale (1994).
