    After a seven-month long build, the Hydraulic Air Compressor (HAC) Demonstrator at Dynamic Earth has officially opened. The 100 feet high (above and below ground) industrial scale system for testing and demonstration of compressed air production is installed in a former elevator shaft at Science North’s Dynamic Earth in Sudbury, ON. This innovative technology provides an energy efficient alternative to conventional mechanical air compression that promises up to 50% savings in lifecycle cost for mine operators and other industrial-scale users of pneumatic power.

    The Exploration Place has a unique relationship with the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation and part of it has to do with location.

    For the past few decades, the city's oldest museum has been the only public building on the first height of land on the Fraser River downstream of the Nechako River confluence. But for the 10,000 or so years before that, that same grassy meadow was the primary community of the Lheidli people. Read more

    We would like to thank all those who participated - it truly was 10 days of discovery for Canadians everywhere.

    Science Odyssey programming took place in science centres across Canada. Many of these programs allowed the public to learn and take part in the innovative research currently being conducted by NSERC funded scientists. 

    CASC increased the reach of some of these programs by collaborating with Partners In Research (http://www.pirweb.org/pir/en/). They organized webinars on some of these scientific talks and broadcast them to various schools, giving students an opportunity to participate in Science Odyssey from their classrooms. 


    One highlight of the event, was when Parliamentary Secretary, Kate Young and MP Nick Whalen visited the Johnson Geo Centre at the launch of Science Odyssey.

    We look forward to seeing everyone’s continued participation in next year’s event!
