Travelling Exhibit Open Now at the Lake of the Woods Discovery Centre

Tourism Kenora is proud to announce an exciting new travelling exhibit has arrived in Kenora. A scientific and cultural journey to the Arctic is the theme of this travelling exhibition open now at the Lake of the Woods Discovery Centre.

The Arctic is a place of rapid change and despite its seemingly remote location, the Arctic is connected to all of us. The new special exhibition, Arctic Voices, will take you on a journey to this fascinating and changing region.

Arctic Voices uses interactive experiences, photos, videos and real specimens to convey that the Arctic is more than just snow – it is land, water, and ice. It is home to people and a surprising diversity of wildlife. It is a place of rapid change being studied and monitored by scientists. Find out what affects the Arctic and in turn, how the Arctic has an impact on the whole planet.

Arctic Voices will challenge your perception of the Arctic and introduce you to a colourful land that’s actually closer to your own backyard than you might think. Pounce, hop, push and crawl your way through animal life in the Arctic, and come face to face with a polar bear. Travel with scientists as they catch and tag Arctic whales, and then go on a “garden tour” to see how plants have adapted to survive and thrive in this harsh environment. Listen to stories from the people who inhabit this region, as they share their knowledge about the land and their unique culture.

Everyone is invited to experience Arctic Voices at the Lake of the Woods Discovery Centre, 931 Lakeview Drive, Kenora. The exhibit is free to view and open daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The exhibit will remain in Kenora until March 2024

Arctic Voices is produced by Science North, one of Canada’s largest and most respected science centres.
