Calling all brainiacs: the Thunder Bay Science Festival is back.
The week-long, family-friendly event celebrates all things science, technology, engineering and math. It’s hosted by Science North, an agency of the government of Ontario and registered charity.
It will run from Monday, February 16 through Saturday, February 21.
This year’s rendition will feature a special Research and Innovation Area with hands-on activities and demonstrations from Lakehead University.
“The Science Festival is a fantastic opportunity for Lakehead University to bring our research into the community, sparking curiosity in the next generation,” said Dr. Langis Roy, Vice-President Research and Innovation at Lakehead University. “We look forward to welcoming families with fun, hands-on activities to showcase the incredible work happening at Lakehead University.”
Fan-favorite events like SNOWday on the Waterfront at Marina Park, the Science Carnival at the Intercity Shopping Centre, and the 19+ Nerd Nite at Sleeping Giant Brewery will all be returning.
“The Thunder Bay Science Festival is a powerful example of what’s possible when a community comes together around curiosity and learning,” said Ashley Larose, CEO of Science North. “For Thunder Bay and the surrounding region, opportunities like this help make science accessible, relevant, and inspiring close to home. Science North is proud to support science engagement across Northern Ontario, and we’re grateful to the community partners whose collaboration, leadership, and local knowledge make this festival meaningful and impactful year after year.”
