On February 14th, 1947, a group of geologists met at the Engineers\' Club in Toronto with the objective of creating the Geological Institute of Canada, an association of geologists which would, among other things, promote, discuss and disseminate geological knowledge. A second meeting on March 11th, 1947, resulted in a preliminary Constitution and Bylaws as well as the election of the first Councillors, a change of name to the Geological Association of Canada and 140 charter members. From the outset, the Association was designed to fill a role similar to that of the Geological Society of America, bridging a gap between the perceived industrial mineral orientation of the Geological Division of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, and the purely scientific objectives of Section IV of the Royal Society of Canada.
The Objects of the Association include:
- to promote the science of geology and closely related fields of study and to promote the knowledge of the members in connection therewith;
- to hold conferences, meetings and exhibitions for the discussion of geological problems and the exchange of views in matters related to geology;
- to publish various journals and collections of learned papers dealing with geology.
