Compilation, synthesis, and release of extant data through maps and reports on the Quaternary history of the Western Churchill Province is crucial at this time as multiple new prospective areas for diamond exploration are now emerging in north-central Canada. The development of Quaternary Geoscience Knowledge in this region represents a key component of the Western Churchill Metallogeny Project (WCMP), which is part of GSC's Northern Resources Development Program. The WCMP is a collaborative effort between the Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta and the GSC. New regional framework surficial mapping also forms an integral part of the project. The emphasis of the new field work is in three areas: SW Western Churchill (NE Saskatchewan), central Western Churchill (Kivalliq and Kitikmeot Regions), and NE Western Churchill (Baffin Region).

This page provides a location map of recent Quaternary compilations over the Western Churchill Province, including surficial geology maps at various scales and till composition data. The page also gives an overview of up-coming compilations that will be assembled mainly as part of the WCMP, such as surficial geology maps, ice flow maps and till composition datasets, and shows areas of recent and future field projects by the participating agencies.
