History of the Society

The PSP originated in the classroom of Dr. Desh Mittra while teaching paleo-enthusiasts the basics of dinosaur evolution.  Beside the regular college students, some of Grande Prairie's more experienced dinosaur hunters and other interested professionals signed up for this evening class. A core group of six individuals from this course decided to formally establish a paleo-club in the Peace with Dr. Mittra at the helm. The society was officially founded on June 30, 2004.
