Description (French)
La présente subvention aide le Musée royal de l’Ontario à mettre à jour le site Web éducatif primé sur les schistes argileux de Burgess qu’il a lancé en 2011. Ce site (https://burgess-shale.rom.on.ca/fr/) doit être modernisé sur les plans des éléments techniques ainsi que du contenu pour en garantir l’exactitude en 2022. Les fossiles des gisements de schistes argileux de Burgess préservent certaines des plus anciennes preuves de vie complexe sur Terre, et sont donc protégés par Parcs Canada.
