Let’s Talk Science and EarthCare Thunder Bay Host Free Event for Canada Water Week at Confederation College.
Thunder Bay is gearing up for a special event to celebrate Canada Water Week, with a family-focused and educational event taking place on Sunday afternoon at Confederation College. The event is being hosted by Let’s Talk Science, in partnership with EarthCare Thunder Bay, and is open to everyone who wishes to attend.
The event will run from noon to 4:00 pm and will be held in the Tec Hub Atrium in the McIntyre building. The day’s activities will focus on the importance of water to the community, featuring free educational activities and hands-on displays. Children can participate in an indoor scavenger hunt, learn about rain gardens, test their water conservation knowledge, learn about aquatic bugs, see some birds of prey from the Great Lakes watershed, and take part in water-themed crafts. There will also be free draws and plenty of popcorn and cotton candy on offer.
Sandra Stiles, program lead of Let’s Talk Science at Confederation College, said, “This event is a wonderful opportunity for residents of all ages to explore solutions to overcome water challenges of the 21st century.” The event will focus on understanding the water in the Great Lakes watershed, and more than a dozen organizations will join the event with fun, interactive displays.
The event marks the end of Canada Water Week in Thunder Bay, which is observed annually during the third week of March. The national celebration coincides with the United Nations’ declaration of World Water Day, observed on March 22 every year. This year’s theme is “Be the Change.” Everyone interested in learning more about water and its importance to the community is invited to attend this fun and educational event.
