The EGS provides opportunities for professional earth scientists, university/college
students, and others interested in the field to network and participate in field trips,
lecture series, publication development, and social events.
In the spirit of the EGS mandate to foster interaction between earth scientists we
are undertaking a membership drive. You must be a member of the EGS to vote at the AGM. There are currently about 30 registered members in the society. We would like to raise that number to 105 members by the AGM this fall to celebrate the 105th anniversary of the incorporation of Edmonton as a city.
Because the EGS is a section of the Geological Association of Canada (GAC),
EGS members are encouraged to become members of GAC. GAC members have the option of paying their EGS membership dues with their GAC membership renewal. At
this point GAC requires only EGS executive members to be GAC members. We ask EGS
members, who have lapsed membership, to renew their membership and encourage interested people to become new members.
You can renew memberships securely through the
MEMBERSHIP page and the
GAC website. You can also download and mail in the EGS membership form
EGS membership form (pdf). Note that you can apply for EGS and GAC membership through GAC; you needn’t fill out two membership forms.
Call Jill Weiss (780)427-2948 if you have questions about membership.
