A Day in a Geologist's Shoes

Did you know, Saskatchewan has a team of hard working geologists that are busy mapping and surveying the geology of our province? While on my recent trip to Northern Sask, I hopped on a float plane in La Ronge and flew north to Robertson Lake, where I joined the Saskatchewan Geological Survey staff in the field, and explored the waters and Precambrian rock of Northern Saskatchewan! Established in 1948, the Saskatchewan Geological Survey (SGS) is celebrating its 70 years of researching and mapping the geology of Saskatchewan. The information collected through mapping is compiled into reports and maps that are published for public and industry use to help guide the exploration for, and development of, our provinces mineral and energy resources. I had an incredible time tagging along with the SGS, seeing what it was like to be in their shoes for a day, and surveying the Precambrian rock in Northern Saskatchewan!
