CTG workshops have been held every fall since 1980, and usually consist of a Friday evening meet-and-greet, a short (1-2 day) field trip, and oral and poster presentations by attendees. Our workshops are relatively informal and intended to bring Canada's tectonics researchers together under one roof/sky to create community, engage students, gaze at rocks and stimulate lively discussion. 
​
All are welcome to attend!

Latest Workshop/Field trip

2025 CTG Fall Field Trip
The CTG 2025 Fall Field Trip was held October 4-5 in Sudbury Ontario. We had 12 participants, led by Caroline Gordon, Shirley Peloquin, and Mike Easton, with logistical support from Sheila Ballantyne. The two-day field trip provided a cross section of the Sudbury Structure, from the brecciated footwall rocks to the preserved melt sheet of the Sudbury Igneous Complex and crater-fill sediments. Both pre- and post-impact deformation events were observed, providing an excellent opportunity to understand the evolution and deformation of the Sudbury Structure.

Many thanks to the organizers Caroline Gordon, Shirley Peloquin, Mike Easton, and Sheila Ballantyne!
