List of universities Sep 28, 2013

Took a second: here is a list of Canadian universities where geology and earth sciences are taught:
http://www.aemq.org/EN/LIENS_UNIVERSITE-CANADIENNE-GEOLOGIE-SCIENCE-TERRE

The links take you to the departments. Time to make same calls... and investing some money in good reference books that will serve you for many years! Good luck.
