First Royals of Europe

First Royals of Europe takes visitors on an epic journey spanning 6,500 years — from the Neolithic Age to the end of the Iron Age and the dawn of empires. More than 700 rare and exquisite objects from 26 institutions across southeastern Europe have been brought together to explore how individuals grew their power by amassing wealth and controlling trade, rituals, ceremonies and warfare.




Bonnechere Day July 13, 2019
Once again the Chapter was invited to deliver a program for Archaeology Day at Bonnechere Provincial Park.  This is an annual event for many of us who participated and had the pleasure of enjoying the many amenities of the park during the weekend.   Our collaboration with the Park and the Friends organization goes back more than twenty years!  The interest, enthusiasm and support we receive from staff and the campers is very much appreciated.
