Introduction to BIG Little Science Centre

The BIG Little Science Centre (BLSC) was started in February 2000 by Gordon R. Gore, a retired science teacher who has dedicated his life to teaching science in an interactive environment. The Centre currently operates out of four classrooms leased from School District 73 at Bert Edwards Science and Technology School. The current program format allows visitors a period of time to experiment on their own at any of 120 plus hands-on stations located in two classrooms.  A third room is used for demonstrations while the fourth room is used for demonstrations and serves as a basic teaching laboratory with capacity for 32 visitors.

The BIG Little Science Centre Society was established in October 2002 and registered as a charitable organization in September 2003.  The Society has a leadership of nine directors who meet bi-monthly.  The current Volunteer Board represents a diverse range of experience and skills including education, accounting, engineering, business, science and the trades.  Many dedicated volunteers help to run the science centre, donating over 2000 hours per year.
