The North Caribou terrane is one of the largest blocks with continental affinities in the western Superior Province. This paper reviews field relationships at the southern margin of this terrane in the western Uchi belt between Trout Lake, north-west Ontario, and Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba. After an introduction on the regional geological framework, the paper describes the Trout Lake Batholith, the Red Lake-Garner Lake lobe, the Bloodvein-Wanipigow River corridor, the English Lake magmatic complex, and the eastern Lake Winnipeg area. Implications of the observations for crustal architecture are discussed.

Ice movement indicators have been carefully documented in the Arrowsmith River area of central mainland Nunavut, and this paper presents preliminary results of this research. It begins with background on the regional geological setting and on the field sampling methods used. Ice movement indicators & associated glacial landforms are then described, including striae, eskers, meltwater channels, moraine systems, and raised shorelines.
