Offer a program of science learning across Northern Ontario
Our Northern Ontario mandate is important. Our service to the North has grown dramatically since we established a satellite base in Thunder Bay in 2010 thanks to an increase in the Centre’s base operating funding. Expanding our service to all of Northern Ontario is a key strategic priority.

Sell consulting services, exhibits and media productions to support the centre's development
