To What Degree?
Canada in a Changing Climate
On now until Sept. 9, 2018
Museum Main Level
Canada's changing climate is a deeply complex situation that presents us with both losses and opportunities. Adapting to it is challenging and necessary. Compelling photographs share Canadian stories of individual and community resilience in the face of extreme events like heat, storms and wildfires; changes in livelihood due to habitat shifts, and even opportunities for quality of life improvements.
Produced by Ingenium - The Canada Science and Technology Museum in partnership with the Government of Canada and Canadian Geographic.

OF WORLD WAR II POSTERS
On now until Oct. 7, 2018
Museum Main Level
During World War II (1939-1945) the Canadian Government's Bureau of Public Information worked to influence the hearts and minds of Canadians to support the war effort, both at home and abroad.
Well-known artists such as Group of Seven member, A.J. Casson, and the American illustrator, Norman Rockwell, created artwork for posters. The posters were displayed throughout the community to encourage everyone to buy war bonds, ration much-needed supplies and support the troops.
Ivan Melhuish was unable to serve in the Canadian Military so he became a member of the Brampton Civil
Defence Corps and collected almost 300 posters, which he later donated to the Archives at PAMA.
