Is a spider an insect? What is an invertebrate? River Institute scientists and educators will provide all kinds of interesting information and lead hands-on activities that will answer those questions.

Visitors can take a microscopic look at preserved specimens by exploring the River Institute’s insect collection. They can also learn all about interesting insect adaptations and their biological importance. Opportunities to track, net, handle and identify live insects will also be provided. Workshops are free and can be signed up for upon arrival at the Visitor Centre, 2500B Second St. West.

The OPG Visitor Centre also offers displays and interactive exhibits that describe the St. Lawrence Seaway and Power Project construction story and its effects on the nearby communities. Visitors can learn and observe how OPG safely generates electricity at its nuclear, thermal and hydro generating stations located across Ontario. The Centre is open from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, Monday to Friday. Visit www.opg.com/stlawrencevisitorcentre
