Innovation150 wraps up a year of "wow"

From mountain passes and ice roads to prairie heat and blazing fall colours, the Innovation150 partnership delivered a year of fun, fascinating science to Canadians of all ages.

As Canada recognized its 150 years as a united country throughout 2017, it did more than simply consider its past -- Canadians also looked to the future. And what lies ahead could be incredible, according to the Innovation150 festival that toured through dozens of communities from coast to coast.
