T. rex Discovery Center

Every time I try to get hold of a colleague in Alberta, they’re always out of town at the The T.rex Discovery Centre in Eastend, Saskatchewan. Why? Well, aside from being a great interpretive centre in a great place, they have “Scotty”, the T. rex.

If you're driving across Canada this summer plan to stop in. The T.rex Discovery Centre in Eastend, Saskatchewan has partnered with the Royal Saskatchewan Museum and its Fossil Research Station to create a display highlighting six celebrated scientists who have, over the past 125 years, uncovered Saskatchewan's ancient past. The T.rex Discovery Centre will unveil this wall exhibit May 3, 2008.

"The exhibit will be unveiled Saturday, May 3 and may be viewed during regular Discovery Centre hours from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.," T.rex Discovery Centre manager Heather Gibson said. "And at 7:30 p.m. we are pleased to present Tim Tokaryk, Palaeontologist with the Royal Saskatchewan Museum who will speak to us on ‘A Passion For Palaeo; 125 years searching for Saskatchewan's past'. This will follow the Annual General Meeting of the T.rex Discovery Centre at 6:30 p.m."

Contact the T.rex Discovery Centre at 306-295-4009. If you see Tim say 'hi' for me.
