About
If you wander around the University of Saskatchewan campus, and many other places nearby, you will see many boulders! They are called glacial erratics and they have come from far away. Where were they formed and how did they get here? How have they been important to people who live on the plains? Come and join us to learn about the geology and history of our part of the world, tour some of the boulders on the campus, and participate in hands-on activities and art making.
