The largest and most ambitious project celebrating the Department’s Centenary is the construction of a rock garden around the Wallace Building. The Geoscape Park will be designed to serve the teaching and outreach functions of the Department by showcasing the geology of Manitoba and the industrial and environmental importance of the geological sciences. It will transform the grounds around the Wallace Building into an attractive facility that will create a link between the outdoors and the Ed Leith Cretaceous Menagerie and R.B. Ferguson Museum of Mineralogy. The Geoscape Park will be a longer term project than the other Centenary projects and will involve a major fundraising campaign which will commence in 2010.
