Our Climate Quest will be displayed from May 8 to May 29 at Central Park Arena on 85 Paterson Street.
The event is free and will run from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
"Visitors will be immersed in an interactive experience where you can explore what we currently know about climate change, but also learn, build, and test sustainable solutions that affect our everyday lives - from learning how we shop, eat, and live to how we connect to nature and each other," stated in the release.
This event aims to inspire individuals through stories from scientists, Indigenous peoples, and change-makers across the country who share their efforts towards climate action.
