27 students and 3 faculty members from the Science Program will spend two days during the March Break visiting labs at the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) and the National Research Council (NRC) in Ottawa, and the Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) in Chalk River. The visits will expose students to world-class research facilities and the scientists and engineers who work in them.

Environmental Science students will get the opportunity to study Biology, observe species diversity and discuss evolution by natural selection in the actual area in the world that inspired Darwin to develop one of the most important theories in science. The main objectives of this field trip are: i. Observe and become familiar with the biodiversity...
