    Science North has launched their first ever Science North-produced planetarium show, Under the Same Stars: Minwaadiziwin. 

    The planetarium show was developed in partnership with Indigenous people from across Northern Ontario and uses Indigenous worldview to understand the common constellations visible in the night sky and the Anishinaabe stories that define them. 

    This project was made possible due to Ontario150 funding from the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport. 

    Northern Ontario audiences will also experience Under the Same Stars: Minwaadiziwin as Science North’s outreach team tour the show in two portable planetariums to over 55 communities throughout Northern Ontario, with a focus on Indigenous audiences. 

    The Northern Ontario planetarium tour started in April and will continue through mid-October.

    The Science North Thunder Bay team will be taking part in the National Aboriginal Day (NAD) celebrations in Thunder Bay again this year. Science North will be setting up hands-on activities that will inspire youth to get involved in science, while connecting them to their culture and the natural world around them. 

    The team will be “building a community forest,” which is a group project where people of ages will better understand the interconnectedness of people with their natural surroundings. Visitors interact with the “forest wall” by adding a component of nature to it and thanking it for the gifts it has to share. 

    The Science North Bluecoat team will be on hand to open up discussions and sharing that pertain to that component, as well as communicating relevant science facts about it.
