Ingenium has now entered its second half-century, and the future of the corporation remains bright as it continues to share the stories of Canadian scientific and technological achievement, while exploring the creative and curious minds driving that achievement. Through its many activities, from exhibitions and maker events to apps and summer camps, Ingenium celebrates the innovative spirit of Canadians everywhere. More to the point, Ingenium is actually helping to build that same spirit by encouraging people to think outside the box, through thought-provoking programs and educational initiatives. During this fiscal year, the new Canada Science and Technology Museum marked its first anniversary. It is a source of pride to everyone at Ingenium that the Museum opened on time and on budget, and that it continues to enjoy rave reviews and record attendance. Another major Ingenium undertaking this year has been the Collections Conservation Centre, which is now nearing completion. In late March 2019, several large artifacts were moved into the building, and the Centre should be fully operational by the end of next fiscal year.
