Nanaimo Science inspires children to develop an interest in science through a wide range of programs.
The mission of the Nanaimo Science and Sustainability Society is to inspire families and develop their interest in science and sustainability through hands-on learning. Key to this mission is community outreach through our Science in the Park and Science on the Move programs, and a new, interactive Science Centre for the central Vancouver Island region. All programs will appeal to families, kids, retirees, teachers, schools and visitors.
