Every year the national office run the National Crystal Growing Competition (see link for details). At the local level we organize teachers/students to take part in the event, collect the crystals from our section and judge them.  Judging 2015 Crystals at The Crystalworks Gallery We try to do the judging in a public space so the student and the public can come, watch, and learn more about growing crystals. This year our judging event was at The Crystalworks Gallery (crystalworks.ca), on Nov. 28th. We would like to thank the Crystalworks Gallery for the use of their venue as well as their sponsorship of the prizes for our top crystal growers. The winning crystals were sent on to compete in the National Crystal Growing Competition (results).

This year's annual CIC dinner meeting and awards night was held at the SFU Diamond Alumni Centre (SFU Burnaby Campus) on Nov. 12th. Congratulations to all our Student Awards winners and thank-you to all who came! This was a lovely dinner with friends and a talk by an engaging guest speaker! This year we were fortunate to have Mr. Kevin Meisner, from Britannia Mine Museum (britanniaminemuseum.ca), who discussed the history of the mine, the chemistry that occurred there and the efforts to clean up the mine site.
