Celebrating 100 Years

Our Centennial Anniversary

The Alberta Geological Survey was established over a 2-year period, beginning with the 1920 publication of Report 1, First Annual Report on the Mineral Resources of Alberta, and the formalization of a geological survey function in the newly-formed Scientific and Industrial Research Council of Alberta in 1921. Over the past 100 years, the Geological Survey has grown and transformed into what it is today - the Alberta Geological Survey.
