Make your mark at Science North’s travelling exhibition, Our Climate Quest: Small Steps to Big Change! Hosted by the Collingwood Museum, Our Climate Quest will be on display from May 8 to May 29, 2024, on the first and second floors of Central Park Arena at 85 Paterson Street. Admission is free! 

Join Museum and Town staff at the Our Climate Quest Kick-Off on Wednesday, May 8 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and be a climate quest hero! Explore the interactive exhibit, chat with Collingwood’s Climate Action Specialist, Nicole Yardy, and complete a scavenger hunt for a chance to win one of two exciting, climate-themed prizes each valued at over $80.00 from the Museum Gift Shop. You’ll also have a chance to win a week of free programs in the Museum’s popular summer programs. 

This exciting exhibit is jam-packed with activities for all ages. Explore the science of climate change in a hands-on way and better understand the role we all play in helping Canada reach its goal of net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050. 

Visitors will be immersed in an interactive experience where you can explore what we currently know about climate change, but also learn, build, and test sustainable solutions that affect our everyday lives - from learning how we shop, eat, and live, to how we connect to nature and each other. 

Get inspired by stories from scientists, Indigenous peoples, and change-makers from across the country who share what they are doing in their quest towards climate action. 

With plenty of hands-on activities, it’s sure to be a memorable experience for the whole family. So, bring the kids and come learn how you can take small steps to big change on the path to climate action. 

Our Climate Quest will be open to the public Monday to Friday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Wednesday 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., between May 8 and 29. The exhibit will be closed on Sundays.  Take advantage of our ‘Meet and Greet’ hours on Wednesdays between 5:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. to chat with Museum staff about the exhibit. Registration is not required to visit the exhibit.
