Episode 88: Royal City Science

Welcome to another Breezy Breakfast. Today we learn about Royal City Science:  a grassroots initiative working to establish a science centre in the City of Guelph.  The vision is to create a state-of-the-art facility for informal science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education.  The goal is to ignite curiosity, build confidence, and inspire the inner scientist in us all.

Science and education have the power to combat the global challenges we face.  The first steps happen right here in our community!  Royal City Science gets us up to date on what they've been doing and lets us know the plan for the next five years - highlighting ways in which the community can help to achieve this ambitious goal.
