Exhibit Highlights
The Neighbourhood in the 21st Century Exhibit showcases the effects of climate change on neighbourhoods through science-based content presented in engaging art installations. The exhibit also provides practical actions that communities can take to mitigate climate impacts, including those related to extreme heat, wildfire smoke, atmospheric rain, and food insecurity.
Visitors are encouraged to listen to the perspectives of children and youth, with Fraser Academy students contributing powerful narratives and visual imagery that express their views of the world, both present and future.
