    Ontario Science Centre

    The Ontario Science Centre opened in 1969 with the purpose of exhibiting and conducting public education programs about science and technology. Since its opening, the Centre has been recognized for its hands-on or “learn-through-play” approach to exhibition and educational programming. In 2023, the Ontario government announced that the Centre would move from its original Don Valley location in Toronto to a new site in Ontario Place. In the summer of 2024, the Don Valley site was closed to visitors due to deteriorating infrastructure.

    Queen's University

    Queen's University, Kingston, Ont, is one of Canada's oldest degree-granting institutions. It was established as Queen's College (in honour of Queen Victoria) in 1841, by the PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH of Canada in association with the Church of Scotland. Classes began on 7 March 1842 in a rented building with two professors and 10 students. Queen's was intended primarily as a college to train young men for the ministry, but denominational ties progressively diminished. In 1912 Parliament, by amending the charter, completed the separation of church and university. Thus the college became Queen's University at Kingston, an independent institution controlled primarily by its graduates.
