    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 Central Park Arena’s first and second floors at 85 Paterson Street. This exciting exhibit is jam-packed with activities for all ages. 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. 

    Community members, near and far, can access more than 45 episodes of the Collingwood Museum’s podcast, Stories from Another Day.

Learn about museums’ unique challenges in caring for collections and interact with never-before-exhibited items that initiate big discussions, touching on everything from the problematic legacy of colonial collecting to conservation and missing outgoing loans.
