Peacock Prize

Peacock Prize

The Peacock Memorial Prize is an award in memory of Dr. M. A. Peacock, who was a professor of crystallography and mineralogy at the University of Toronto, and a founding member of the Walker Club.

The Walker Mineralogical Club encourages the study of mineralogy and allied sciences. One of the ways in which we do this is to make an annual award, currently $1500.00 Canadian, to a deserving student currently attending an Ontario university or college. The student should be engaged in the study of pure or applied mineralogy, including crystallography, petrology, or geochemistry at the graduate level. The annual competition is by invitation to the different schools. Any school that has not participated in the past is encouraged to contact the vice-president of the Walker Mineralogical Club for more information.
