___________________________________________________________ Greetings, The extremely successful CPC-2006 (16th Canadian Paleontology Conference) was held at the Redpath Museum in Montreal, Quebec from October 13-16. It featured both a pre-meeting and a post-meeting fieldtrip, and two days of talks and poster displays, as well as a visit to MusČe de PalČontologie et de l'evolution. Social events included an icebreaker on Friday, October 13 and a banquet on Saturday, October 14. The 2006 Pikaia Award winner was Nick Butterfield, and T.E. Bolton Awards were presented to Nadia Frobisch (Redpath Museum) and Emily Bamforth (Queens University) - congratulations to all! At the Paleontology Division business meeting on Saturday morning, October 14, there was extreme interest expressed in holding CPC-2007 in St. John's, Newfoundland; I was assigned the task of finding out if Memorial University would be interested in hosting it. I'm pleased to report that they have agreed to do so. For more information, please contact: Dr. Elliott Burden etburden@mun.ca Dr. Evan Edinger eedinger@cs.mun.ca Dr. Duncan McIlroy dmc@esd.mun.ca Cheers, Doug Boyce P.S.

Hello Doug! Couldn't this meeting be a CPC? Since there are no venues for 2007! And it would be in the fall.... I think it would be a great occasion for all canadian (and non-canadian) paleontologists to visit and appreciate Mordem's area, paleontology and superb Fossil Discovery Centre! Cheers!
