About the Federation:

The Central Canadian Federation of Mineralogical Societies (CCFMS) was founded in 1969. It arose out of the "Inter-Club Field Trip Committee", which had existed since 1964. The CCFMS assists its members by various means to promote earth sciences, to protect collecting sites, to educate collectors, and to foster good will, friendship and rapport among all. Our federation currently consists of 25 member clubs.

Annual Meeting:

Each year our federation holds an annual meeting at some place in Ontario. It is at this meeting we elect the new executive. For more information, please contact us.


Field Trips:

Day trips, the Fall Colours, and the summer field trips have all been sponsored by CCFMS and organized by the Field Trip Committee. This has saved a tremendous amount of work for the local clubs who may not have the resources (both material and human) or the numbers to justify these undertakings. For more information, please contact Court Saunders, Field Trip Director, at (905) 457-1916.


CCFMS Newsletter:

The CCFMS Newsletter is published 3 times a year and is distributed to member clubs, dealers, and individuals. Submissions of articles to the CCFMS newsletter, and copies of all club newsletters should be sent to the editor, Randy Ernst, at the above E-mail address, or send to: 2 Ferbane Place, Willowdale, Ontario, M2J 1Y8.
