The Canadian Association of Palynologists was founded in 1978 and, at a recent count (September 30 2003), consists of 39 members in good standing. The Association is run by a small executive. CAP members include palynologists from Universities, Industry and Government Agencies. CAP membership is drawn from the worldwide palynological community. The Association focusses on palynology from all geologic eras, spanning the Palaeozoic to the Quaternary. Palynologists from all branches of the discipline, from stratigraphic palynology, to palaeoecology, to melissopalynology, participate in the Association. We welcome new members.

CAP communicates primarily through a newsletter that is produced twice a year (May and December). This WWW page is designed as a supplement and extension of the CAP Newsletter. The CAP WWW page is intended as an information resource for CAP members and anyone else interested in Canadian palynology.
