Science North will soon be able to take its Beyond Human Limits show on the road in Northern Ontario thanks to $350,000 from the federal government.

“Tourism is a major economic driver for Northern Ontario and I’m proud that the Government of Canada is investing in Science North to support this key sector of our economy,” Sudbury MP Paul Lefebvre said in a release Wednesday. “Today’s announcement helps to demonstrate how our Prosperity and Growth Strategy for Northern Ontario is enabling communities to respond to opportunities that create jobs and growth here at home in Sudbury and across the region.”
