Celebrate Canada Day by discovering the remarkable prehistoric history hiding beneath Alberta’s soil. Join us at Jurassic Forest on July 1st for a very special Canada Day celebration that honours one of the greatest discoveries in Canadian paleontological history. Step back in time with our stage presentation — Joseph Tyrrell and the History of Paleontology in Alberta. It’s the story of the remarkable 1884 expedition that changed our understanding of prehistoric life forever. In August of that year, geologist Joseph Burr Tyrrell stumbled upon the skull of an Albertosaurus along the Red Deer River badlands, a discovery that would spark over a century of world-class paleontological research and cement Alberta’s place on the global fossil map.
