MEETING SCHEDULE

Interested in what's happening? Times and places for our regular lecture series and any upcoming special events (field-trips, open-houses, work-shops, etc.) will be posted and updated regularly, along with brief descriptions of the events themselves.

The Society does not hold regular meetings during the months of June, July and August.

Monthly meetings are usually held at 7:30pm on the fourth Tuesday of the month (note: not the last Tuesday of the month; on rare occasions there are five). Our usual meeting place is the Auditorium of the Nova Scotia Museum of Natural History (located at 1747 Summer St., Halifax), near the south entrance on the lower level, just off the parking lot.
