True or False exhibit opening celebrates the start of summer in Bruce County

On Thursday, May 16, the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre celebrated the grand opening of True or False: The Fun Science Exhibition with an exclusive first-look event for Museum Members, ushering in the start of the summer season.

Over 100 attendees gathered in the Museum’s Bruce Power theatre for a warm welcome from Bruce County Warden Chris Peabody and exhibit sponsor OPG’s Kaitlyn Nevill. To kick off the evening, Blackburn Radio’s J.C. Coutts hosted a special True or False ‘gameshow’ activity that saw 6 participants meet on stage to test their skeptical skills with a series of true or false questions and a shower of confetti to celebrate the winner.

Attendees then had a chance to explore the new traveling exhibit, on loan from the Sherbrooke Museum of Nature and Science in Quebec. Working their way through a variety of interactive stations, guests were challenged with pictures, videos, and demonstrations on a range of different topics to determine whether the presented “facts” were true or false.

During the evening, guests also enjoyed delicious snacks from Outlaw Brew Co. and a pop-up ice cream sundae bar by FUN Southampton. Southampton Art School was on site with their ARTBike initiative and a craft that encouraged guests to make art inspired by the exhibit.

This exhibit is produced by Sherbrooke Museum of Nature and Science with contributions from Heritage Canada, Jardin des animaux, and AMGEN.

Proudly presented by Ontario Power Generation, with media partner 101.7 The One.

The exhibit is now open to the public and will be on view until September 2. For more information on this and other upcoming exhibits and events at the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre, visit brucemuseum.ca.
