A Tour of Cantley's Famous Sculpted Rocks

Saturday, April 27 at 2:00 pm
Meet on St Andrews Road, just south of the quarry (west off highway 307), Cantley.

Geologist Dr. David Sharpe will take us on a guided walk explaining how the Cantley rocks give us insight into how our planet was shaped. He has been bringing students here for years & treated Cantley 1889 to a similar walk in 2013. Since then there have been new scientific findings he will talk about.

For more information you can read Dr. Sharpe's article in Volume 41 of Up the Gatineau!. He writes "...the rocks of Cantley never cease to amaze us - whether from the scientific curiosity they arouse or by the sight of their natural beauty."

Watch the video - Cantley Quebec, Monument of the Ice Age.

This tour is in collaboration with Cantley 1889 with additional information on the Sculpted Rocks of Cantley.
