Join Smithers Exploration Group in Smithers February 18 and 19 for Rock Talk 2026 - our annual celebration of rocks and the people who find them and dig them. Great talks, great food and great friendships. Plan on attending to get updates on the exploration projects in Northwest and North Central BC.
We’ll start with a get-together Tuesday February 17 in the evening and then launch into presentations on Wednesday February 18 and Thursday February 19. As usual we invite folks to wrap things up with a Friday ski day on Hudson Bay Mountain.
