2020 Theme, Our Creative Mind

When we think about "creativity," we may imagine artists/scientists conjuring up fantastic ideas that come from the depths of their inventive minds. Collectively, we connect our ideas, knowledge, and curiosity to create our realities. Using our creative mind, we focus on what exists, and strive to look at reality from different perspectives. Together we imagine, innovate, and discover ways through our research to improve our lives, and better our world.

Some of our confirmed events in Thunder Bay include:

  • February 29 - "Festival of Ideas" at Intercity Shopping Centre,
  • March 2nd - Public Talk: Tim Caulfield: Battling the Bunk Machines,
