Calling all tiny builders! Get ready to explore the exciting world of construction! In this hands-on program, toddlers will build, create, and play with a variety of materials while discovering how things fit together—and sometimes, how they tumble apart.
Through playful activities and fun games, little explorers will boost their creativity, practice focus, strengthen memory, and learn self-control, all while experiencing the fascinating magic of cause and effect. Building up, knocking down, and starting over again has never been so much fun!

Anthropology in Our Backyards - Lemurs of Madagascar: A story of conservation at the intersection of land, people, and endemic biodiversity
2025-10-30 19:00 | The Exploration Place, 333 Becott Place, Prince George, British Columbia, V2L 4V7, Canada
Fernando Mercado Malabet, UNBC Postdoctoral Fellow
Lemurs are among the most endangered mammals on Earth. Addressing this crisis requires identifying which species are most at risk and creating conservation strategies that also support Madagascar’s communities. In this talk, I present a case study of the population ecology of Eulemur fulvus and E. mongoz, and explore how community- based strategies can help safeguard the future of these and other lemurs.
This free public talk is open to everyone. Cash bar available.
