During the Second World War, 2,600 Ontario Mennonite men served in conscientious objector work camps. Through archival records, this exhibit recovers their voices and stories. Free. Guided tours and additional programming available for groups if arranged in advance.

Join us at THEMUSEUM’s newest exhibit Nature Unleashed: Inside Natural Disasters.  We invite guests of all ages to come learn about tornadoes, volcanoes, hurricanes, and earthquakes through interactive displays.  Come build a volcano, move tectonic plates, and experience what it’s like to stand in the eye of a tornado.  Visitors can come face to face with artifacts that have survived real disasters and understand the science behind what causes these powerful disasters to occur.

An exhibition of recent work by six multidisciplinary artists; Jaime Angelopoulos, Paul Dignan, Daniel Hutchinson, Janine Miedzik, Sasha Pierce, and Gary Spearin.

Listening and reading are integral to building your critical thinking skills.  In this interactive workshop, you will learn how to identify a speaker’s/writer’s purpose, assess how well the purpose is met, evaluate the validity and reliability of information, and detect and avoid bias in writing. Come join us for fun and practice.

Register for the workshop through WCONLINE.

Are you tired of trying new time management strategies at the beginning of the semester, just to find by week three you have fallen back into your old habits? You are in luck, this workshop is for you. We will discuss how to break your old habits, how you may be sabotaging your time management efforts, realistic time management strategies and how to maintain them throughout your entire semester. You may think you have heard all there is to know about time management, but this workshop will present these age old strategies in a way that is fresh and relevant for you.

In the past few years, devastating food crises and new research on the economic and social costs of childhood hunger have inspired an unprecedented international movement to end malnutrition in the first 1,000 days of a child’s life, beginning with the mother’s pregnancy. Proper nutrition during these 1,000 days can profoundly influence an individual’s ability to grow, learn, and work. It can also determine a society’s long-term health and prosperity. But, as journalist Roger Thurow reveals, the task of better nourishing mothers and children is easier said than done.
