  1. Name the first Canadian Satellite?
  2. A February 8th, 1855 earthquake was reported by Dawson (1868) to have occurred at "the bend of the Petitcodiak", the nineteenth name for the Moncton region in southeastern New Brunswick. This earthquake was felt throughout most of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and as far to the southwest as Boston, Massachusetts. A felt area IV magnitude of 5.2 was proposed in a reevaluation of this event by Leblanc and Burke (1985) and the epicentre proposed by Smith (1962) of 46.0oN, 64.5oW was accepted. This epicentre and a magnitude of mN are now listed in the Canadian National Seismological Database. The general location of the earthquake is confirmed by the reports of several aftershocks being felt in the Moncton area during the month of February, 1855 (Saint Andrews Standard, March 7th, 1855). Minor damage was reported for this earthquake, such as in an account from Hopewell, a village 17 km south-southwest of the epicentre, which states "At the chemical factory in this place, the shock caused the plastering of walls to crack and rend from top to bottom ....", New Brunswick Reporter, February 16, 1855.

  11. Center Centre being defined as the mid-point of the extremities of Canada's landmass. Yes a physical (REAL) cache. Can you tell us how you're defining centre? (and why you're spelling centre the american way in a canadian forum ) Are we talking centre of mass, or centroid, or (max lat+min lat)/2, (max lon+min lon)/2. Dale

  17. One suggestion for the Halifax calculation is to use the urban component of 282,924 instead of 372,679. The popualtion of the entire municipality encomapsses 5,577 square kilometres which is 10% of NS and roughly the size of PEI. Just a suggestion.
  18. of course the big giant Bedford Basin and Bedford Magazine ignored. Just saying
  19. Can see where I live now, Halifax, which is on a penisula having a serious disadvantage over say where I was from, Moncton, which is surrounded by woods. Congrats Fredericton. It is an awesome city.
