Calendar
This calendar brings together palaeontological events from around the region and beyond, including public lectures, field trips, conferences, and museum exhibitions. It’s a helpful resource for anyone interested in palaeontology, from amateur enthusiasts to professional researchers.
Events are listed to the best of our knowledge and are updated regularly. Whether you're looking to attend a fossil talk, join a dig, or simply stay informed about what's going on in the palaeo world, we hope you'll find something of interest.
If you know of an upcoming event that you think should be included, please feel free to contact us at eric.campbell@albertapaleo.org with the details. I'd be happy to add it to the calendar!

Field Trip
K/Pg Boundary, Knudsen’s Farm, Huxley, AB
Saturday, July 5, 2025
Leader: Tako Koning
If you missed this tour previously, Tako will again lead us to the famous Cretaceous-Paleocene boundary (formerly the “K/T boundary”) site on Knudsen’s farm near Huxley, AB. This boundary marks the end of the dinosaurs and this particular site has contributed materially to our knowledge of what happened to the world at that time. Huxley is about a 2-hour drive from Calgary. This is a single- day trip. The fee is $10.

Field Trip
Cretaceous dinosaur bonebed & trackways near Raymond, AB
Saturday, July 12, 2025
NOTE: This field trip is currently full. You can still register to be added to the waiting list.
Leaders: Les Wingerter & Keith Mychaluk
APS member Les Wingerter will guide our group to a well-known dinosaur bone-bed eroding along the shores of a local reservoir. For a few of us “old members,” this will be a fun follow-up to a 1990s APS trip to the same locality. The site remains productive with the winds of southern Alberta constantly whipping up erosional waves and exposing new glimpses to the past. A 45-minute drive from the reservoir to a nearby dam will give our group an opportunity to explore a boulder field with scattered dinosaur footprints. The boulders are being ripped up from strata at the base of the dam’s spillway. Both localities will be suitable for families and involve short walks. The access water in mid July will likely be welcome too! There are many great campsites immediately adjacent to these localities. Please note this is a single-day trip. Raymond is about a 3-hour drive from Calgary (or 30 mins from Lethbridge). The fee is $10.
Due to the size of the site, this field trip will be capped at 30 participants. Please register early to avoid disappointment!
