My fondest memory of S-IMEW was going underground at the McCeedy West Mine. It was my first time underground, and it left a lasting impression. It was amazing to see the massive sulphide veins.

S-IMEW offered something new and exciting each day but the most impactful part was the networking opportunities. I made many friends and contacts during S-IMEW and more often than not, I meet someone who also has a S-IMEW connection.
I've had the opportunity to work on several projects in Ontario, Saskatchewan, and Labrador. Geoscience offers many opportunities to explore our great country that I cannot imagine finding anywhere else. While the last few years have been hard on many it's the exhilaration that I get when I fly in a helicopter every day, finding an outcrop that doesn't fit the current geological model, or seeing core speckled with gold that makes sticking through the hard times worth it.

The Noranda-Val-d'Or field trip including the underground visits was the highlight of S-IMEW for me. The fondest memories are really of the friendships/relationships developed during the two weeks. I am still in touch with most people through Facebook and like seeing what others are up to.

My fondest memory of S-IMEW was meeting so many other young inspirational geoscientists who shared a similar appreciation for Canadian geology. S-IMEW provided me with stronger networking and communication skills and also furthered my understanding of the geology in eastern Canada. I still have all the rocks and minerals I collected from this experience on display! It was actually during a presentation of my S-IMEW experience that I was recognized by a potential employer who I now currently work for! Thank you S-IMEW for everything you have provided me.

Though all of S-IMEW is a fond memory for me, my fondest memory is of mapping volcanic stratigraphy at the Horne West outcrop with Dr. Harold Gibson from Laurentian University. This was my first real exposure to volcanic rocks and to Harold, and I loved it so much that I went on to pursue a Masters and now a Ph.D. in volcanology supervised by none other than Harold himself. Were it not for S-IMEW I would not have met Harold, and likely never realized my passion for volcanology.

Does it get any better than seeing some of the most amazing geology with a group of technical, ambitious and like-minded geoscientists? S-IMEW honors what geoscience is all about - being curious, asking questions and getting out there to explore. Thanks so much for an amazing opportunity!

My fondest memory of S-IMEW 2010 field trip was getting to visit an underground mine. But overall the best part of the trip was getting to meet the other students from across the country. So many amazing personalities who I was able to become very close with and have endless laughs with made the experience unforgettable. The volunteers who planned and attended the trip with us were so fun and everything was so well organized it made us all feel like rock stars.
