Thursday: 11:00 - 2:00
Friday: 11:00 - 2:00.

GEOLYMPIADS

This is an invitation to come take part in the 16th edition of the GEOLYMPIADS taking place in Trois Rivieres on January 11-13 2008. This a fun weekend for Geographers from all over Quebec to get together, party, and compete!

Additionally, like every year, there will be a range of sports and intellectual activities, for example: a short rally, snow sculptures, floor hockey, etc.

MUGS predicts that the weekend will cost anywhere from $70 to $80 for food/shelter for the weekend, plus around $40 for transportation (we'll probably be taking the bus, but might split a car).
