Searching for the sublime: Algonquin Park and the origins of wilderness tourism

In the late 1800s, Canadian cities were in the process of a major transition due to great population increases, industrialization and a growing middle class. Toronto was no exception, and in terms of its population size and industrial production, was second only to Montreal in these years.

Electric vehicles: The rise of the green machine from the 80s to today

LTE Program Assistant

In the late 1980s, Canadians began to realize that carbon dioxide emissions, global warming, greenhouse gases, and fossil fuel emissions posed a serious problem. In response, several regional bodies began to introduce environmental policies.

On Thin Ice - Athabasca Glacier Expedition

LTE Program Assistant

LTE and Will Gadd descended into Alberta’s Athabasca Glacier to explore the effects of climate change on the glacier. The team was joined by Martin Sharp, a glaciologist from the University of Alberta who helped explain the impacts that climate change has had, and will have, on the area in general and the ice fields in particular.

A Frenchman and an ocean full of plastic

Lindsay Wolcott

Ever heard of plastic smog? This article calls attention to the global use, pollution, and production of single-use plastics – and the undertaking of Benoit Lecomte, a French swimmer, to swim across the Pacific Ocean. Lecomte’s feat, if successful, will not only make him the first person to do so, but the journey will act as an opportunity to study (and as a glaring reminder of) pollution in the ocean. Among the threats and obstacles Lecomte will face as he traverses the ocean are densely

Sunscreen is damaging a vital ecosystem: Coral reefs

Lindsay Wolcott

When the mercury rises, most of us reach for the sunscreen – believing we are doing something positive by protecting against cancer-causing rays. But research shows that oxybenzone—a common ingredient in sunscreen—is disrupting coral’s reproduction and growth cycles. The good news is there are alternatives that, if implemented, could save the precious ecosystem of coral reefs around the world.

Emerging tech: Bacteria-based sensors could detect pipeline leaks

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

Petroleum pipeline leaks are costly – for business and for the environment. Researchers are now developing bacteria-based sensors to detect hydrocarbons released by a leak – and emit a wireless alert signal to technicians.

The veins of Mother Earth: Underwater cave exploration with Jill Heinerth

Cassidy Swanston

Canada Science and Technology Museum

As a child, Jill Heinerth dreamed of being an astronaut. As a Canadian girl growing up in the twentieth century, this option didn’t seem accessible to her. Instead of a career that blasted her far above the Earth’s surface, she forged her own path deep within the Earth. She discovered a place where she could still explore hidden worlds, floating weightlessly. Although water is the lifeblood of our planet, we somehow know more about the cosmos than we do about our Earth’s own underwater caves

Digital Archives: The iron ore crisis in Bathurst, New Brunswick

Kristy von Moos

Ingenium - Canada's Museums of Science and Innovation

In honour of Archives Awareness Week (April 2-8), Ingenium is highlighting a few gems taken from our digital collection. The captions displayed here are the original text. During the Second World War, iron was a vital commodity for ship building, as well as rails, guns, and munitions manufacturing. Raw ore was shipped from Little Bell Island, Newfoundland, among other mines, to Sydney, Nova Scotia, where it was made into steel. In September 1942, two ships waiting to be filled with ore were sunk
