Science North's growth of programs and activities throughout all of Northern Ontario received significant support with a $16 million funding package from the Ontario government.
What's being called in a press release a "historic level of funding" for the science centre was announced recently by Sudbury MPP and Minister of Energy Glenn Thibeault.
The funding will be instrumental for Science North to deliver on the five key strategic priorities and 15 goals in its recently launched 2018-2023 Strategic Plan, the press release said, a plan the science centre's CEO, Guy Labine, called "bold" when it was unveiled in March.

Spring cleaning is underway in Niagara Falls.
Dangling 13 storeys above the base of the falls, scalers chisel away rock like shale and limestone along the gorge wall that's built up over the winter. The work is being done to protect visitors from the threat of falling rocks on the Canadian side of the Horseshoe Falls.
"What that entails is lowering a crew of four scalers over the edge of the brink and they release any loose rock that has a potential of falling throughout the season," said Ron Carpenter, Niagara Parks Commission.

Marie.

For years Red Rock has been faced with a multi-million dollar cost to replace their pollution control plant that would be virtually impossible to pay.
With a population of just below 1,000, the Northwestern Ontario community had limited means to raise the more than $8 million of their share that would typically be required for the $25.7 million facility.
Within the next two years the community will have a new state-of-the-art secondary treatment plant to ensure clean wastewater is released into the Nipigon Bay of Lake Superior.
