MB GeoTour 8 - Boissevain Methodist Church with Upper Cretaceous Boissevain Formation building stone
St. Paul's United Church of Canada was built in 1893 at corner of Johnson and South Railway, in the town of Boissevain, Manitoba. Approximately 90% of its exterior walls are slabs of cemented Upper Cretaceous Boissevain Formation, with some Tyndall Stone (from Garson, Manitoba) used around the windows and doorways. The Boissevain sandstone was probably quarried south of the town (near its present water reservoir), where the Cretaceous Boissevain Formation is exposed at surface (See: Video #9).

MB GeoTour 6 - Shale aggregate quarry in the Upper Cretaceous Odanah Member, R.M. Thompson
(05-24-04-07W1; NTS 62G08SW; NAD 83, Zone 14U, 551221E, 5462942N) The 6 m high working face of the Upper Cretaceous Odanah Member of the Pierre Shale in the R.M. of Thompson shale aggregate quarry is situated southwest of Miami, Manitoba. The well-bedded shale is typically hard, grey and is cut by joints that are stained with iron and manganese oxides. The shale is used as a crushed aggregate on roads. In the past, Red River Brick and Tile of Lockport, Manitoba mixed the Odanah Member with clay and shale from other places in the Province, to produce common and face brick.

International Peace Garden of North Dakota/Manitoba
Along the border between North Dakota and Manitoba, groups will find the International Peace Garden, an oasis of beauty nestled in the Turtle Mountains, as much a celebration of peace as natural beauty.
The 2,339-acre site spans the border between Dunseith, N.D., and Boissevian, Manitoba. It was built in 1932 as a symbol of freedom and has expanded in the ensuing decades. The most recent additions include an interpretive center, 9/11 Memorial Garden and a $2 million updating of the landscaping.
Based on an article in the Summer issue of Western Group Tour Magazine 2012. For more group travel planning resources, go to grouptour.com.

MB GeoTour 5 - Mount Nebo roadside outcrop of Upper Cretaceous Millwood
(04-18-04-06W1; NTS 62G08SW; NAD 83, Zone 14U, 552853E, 5460845N)
Mount Nebo is a typical Millwood butte in the Morden-Miami area, which shows the distinctive cauliflower- or popcorn-weathering of the non-calcareous greenish-grey Upper Cretaceous Millwood Member. Midway up the butte, near-horizontal brown to purple manganiferous ironstone concretion layers can seen, which sometimes contains shark's teeth, bone fragments and the internal molds of the cigar-shaped squid-like fossil, called a belemnite. The butte is surrounded by the former calcium-bentonite workings of Pembina Mountain Clays Limited. The bentonite, hosted in the Pembina Member of the Pierre Shale, was used to produce an adsorbent for purifying vegetable and dirty crankcase oils, as well as in toothpaste and cosmetics.
MB GeoTour 4 - Spencer's ditch (on private land, please do not attempt to visit)
This is a virtual stop for information purposes only, which shows 2 m of interlayered and contorted non-calcareous black shale and non-swelling white calcium-bentonite beds of the Upper Cretaceous Pembina Member of the Pierre Shale. The beds were probably disturbed by glacial push during the Pleistocene; followed by slumping after the continental ice sheet melted 11, 000 years ago. The Pembina Member overlies a thin interval of rusty non-calcareous Gammon Ferruginous Member of the same formation; and the calcareous buff-coloured and chalky upper beds of the Upper Cretaceous Boyne Member of the Carlile Formation.

Gladstone Manitobaville 2012
Why is Gladstone Manitobaville? Great students, excellent community and tons of fun things to do. Our students help people locally and globally. With groups like Warriors for Change our teens do things like find sports equipment for local kids, serve coffee at the senior centre and raise money to help people in places like Africa and Costa Rica. Our community supports our students in many ways. One way is to build a very unique youth drop in that will be a tourist attraction and a fun place for people of all ages. However, we need $25,000 to make this dream a reality. Please vote for us and for the future of our students. Thanks in advance!
