Besides being the host to one of the biggest gem and mineral shows in the province, we endeavour to obtain a special exhibit that pertains to the hobby and is of current interest to the public, especially school children. Past examples of these exhibits include the Royal Ontario Museum's Dinosaur-mobile and a Space exhibit, complete with meteorites. In addition to this web page, we also maintain a companion website that contains other information about our society, such as upcoming shows and field trips. Feel free to explore. Our society is an active member of the of the Central Canadian Federation of Mineralogical Societies , and participates in their field trips, workshops, and other activities.
New members are welcome anytime.
Our club organizes mineral and fossil collecting field trips during the summer months. These are generally within a few hours drive of Brantford. Please contact us for more information about our field trip schedule. Each spring our Society hosts a Gem and Mineral Show, which is a big event that draws thousands of people to Paris, Ontario, where it is held. The show features dealers, a silent auction, displays of gem stones, crystals, minerals, meteorites, fossils and flourescents.
