The Ottawa Public Library is celebrating Science Literacy Week this year with programs and initiatives to promote the wonderful world of science.
Science Literacy Week is a nationwide celebration of science in Canada and is led by NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada). It is an opportunity for museums, schools, and libraries across the country to encourage Canadians to explore science and discover more about the diversity of science in Canada.
This year’s theme is Climate. Here is what the Ottawa Public Library will be doing this year to celebrate Science Literacy Week:
