On January 25, the Ontario Science Centre launches its sesquicentennial programming with three new visitor offerings that celebrate Canadian science and innovation. Reinforcing its pioneering role in making science relevant and accessible, the Science Centre is planning an exciting lineup of films, exhibitions and events along with the trio of new experiences launching today, making 2017 a great year to visit the Centre.

«The Ontario Science Centre, a centennial project, celebrates Canada 150 and Ontario 150 in style by offering three original, thought‐provoking experiences to inform, engage and inspire our visitors,» said Dr. Maurice Bitran, CEO and Chief Science Officer, Ontario Science Centre. «With Canada 150: Discovery Way, an installation that celebrates Canadian innovation and ingenuity in science and in everyday life; The Energy Show, a theatrical modernization of our iconic electricity demonstration; and Legacy, an award‐winning sculpture that showcases the interaction of science, nature, and art, Canada’s sesquicentennial promises to be an extraordinary year.»

Canada 150: Discovery Way highlights the uniquely Canadian stories behind transformational inventions and innovations, from the far reaches of space to common household items. Researched, designed and fabricated inhouse by the Science Centre’s scientists, designers, writers and craftspeople, Canada 150: Discovery Way emphasizes the curiosity, critical thinking and courage required for scientific discoveries.

Through 22 notable artifacts, ranging from the hockey mask to the flight recorder, and from the original Jolly Jumper to the Blackberry pager, the Canada 150: Discovery Way installation instills visitors with a sense of pride in Canada’s scientific achievements and encourages them to ask questions, make observations and test ideas of their own.
